vivster said: Quick and fun question. Let's say we have a reliable antibody test available. And let's assume that antibodies mean you're immune. If you get tested positively you get an immunity certificate and can leave your home and conduct business as usual. Now let's assume you come back negative because you never contracted the virus and the vaccine won't come until another year. Would you take an offer to get purposefully infected and then get a certificate after a month? |
8-10days after a "recovery", you dont shed it anymore, and this dont contribute to the spread.
Those people should be allowed to go around as they please.
Assumeing people are tested negative, they should wait for a vaccine (imo, this is safer).
"Would you take an offer to get purposefully infected and then get a certificate after a month?"
If you lived alone, or with just your GF/BF ect, and your both young (30 and under) and great health (BMI like 25 or under), and have no underlying health issues? Purposefully stock up on like a 3 weeks supply of food in advance.. maybe. I could imagine alot would choose to purposefully contract it then. It would be best if you "knew" when it happend though, so like, get a injection with virus cells, so you "Know" you've now got it, and you can go self quarantine (without worry of infecting others).
^ this only works if you dont have idoits, that go around thinking they have it, without knowing for certain, or trying to contract it, without knowing when they do. So they dont unnessarly futher spread in society. Also, people that choose such a option "getting a injection of virus cells", you could montor them, to make sure they stay inside, is probably the only way this methode would work, without makeing things worse.
In a controlled way, this could be a option, around the world.
offer people under 30, that want this option, 3 weeks of food (bring it to them), give them the shot, and make sure to monitor them, when their in quarantine. A few weeks lateron, your building up herd immunity in a relatively safe and controlled way. These people can then go back to work earlier.
