I prefer WuFlu, or The Rona.
My latest crazy idea on combating the outbreak came while I was mentioning that I'd like to be exposed immediately, because it's likely to happen at some point, and it might as well be now. If 60% of the population must have antibodies for herd immunity, that means most of us will end up being exposed. My next thought was, what if all healthy and youngish people adopted that mentality? What if we took healthy volunteers to purposely expose themselves to The Rona, then quarantine for 2 weeks?
We don't want to achieve 60% herd immunity by exposing the population at random, even though that is the "fairest" way to do it, because the outcomes are suboptimal. At least taking volunteers would be fair in that they have been informed of the risks and accept the consequences.
