I can't stop stupid. But I can hand out the awards.

It's starting to sound like they are kicking around the idea that folks who have had corona already can get off the bench and get back into the economy.
So basically we will be rewarded for contracting corona.
I own a small business. Straight up... I'll find the damn virus and get infected if that's what it takes. I imagine I won't be the only one.
The political over reaction to this is borderline insane, but do yourself a favor; if you get the Wuhan Flu, don't advertise it. You'll spook your customers. So much remains unknown.
I can't stop stupid. But I can hand out the awards.
Do you develop anti-bodies if you use that treatment?
Do not think I would because 1) I am over 60 2) I have no idea which version would show up: the it was a cold and went away version, or the torturous die a slow death, drowning version.
Chris Martenson was kicking around the idea in one of his youtube videos that the solution might be to give people the minimum viral load to become infected. I’m not sure how serious he was about that. Seems like a bad idea to me.
About 28:00 into this video.
How about we just expose all the FluBro’s with enough to ensure they come down with it, it’s no big deal anyway right? Then you guys can get right back to work ...
That wasn’t the final answer. Antibodies with a successful cocktail.
So, it would be 2 flights out of 10,000 (tops). I think several people would take the chance if it meant their lively hood.
For those under 50 the odds improve. It might be 1 flight out of 20,000.
Go do it now. Why wait?

because the ‘either...or’ has not been presented as an option yet. Simply choosing to get it without deriving any benefit doesn’t quite makes sense.
I don’t know what your work is, but you could show up and sit in your empty restaurant, or something like that. That won’t help a lot of people, though.
As long as I could get some hydroxycloroquine at the outset, I’m for it.
I’m betting the 70% of laid off workers that are now making more on unemployment won’t want to go back.
Contacted Sarah who was the team lead on the spec “Call Jim on your team, he was there”
Contacted Jim “I’m covered. Call the requester”
Contacted the requester “I already told Sarah and Jim what I wanted”
This is a 5 minute conversation. I created the view, contacted the requester and he ignored it.
Wish math was taught in school. Hiding in an isolated room does not stop anything(except the person hiding and the economy). Read the CDC website, “flatting the curve” has nothing to do with the area under the curve. The area under the curve is how many catch it. At sometime we all will be exposed. Get over it.
One thing flattening the curve does it keep it around longer. Lets get over it. Sure I’ll get flamed for this, but so “what the F&%&,” I’m right.
I’m out of toilet paper.
Why so angry? The virus is not deadly to 99.9% of the population. For the majority they are asymptomatic.

My golf ball landed next to a 12 foot alligator at Venice Lake Golf Club the other day. I could have played the ball and maybe shot a par.....why tempt fate?
You’re a pro golfer in the final round, all tied up on the last hole..your opponent is in a sand trap, and you’re 100 yards from the pin...do you make the same choice?
What’s the point then in fighting it? If there is no immunity possible orom this virus then why even try? Lets all get it and getting it and keep getting over and over. You mean like the common cold....
I haven't done anything out of the ordinary to avoid this latest bug going around. Sure, I've been "social distancing" but that is really just so I don't make others who have bought into the panic uncomfortable. Hey, I didn't like crowds before this anyway and I've always been a social distance guy to a certain extent.
Given that I haven't really worked at avoiding it, and there were a couple of guys sick in the office with some kind of bug several weeks before this all blew up... It is fairly likely I've already been exposed and my immune system shrugged it off. We're all probably part of that 4/5 group that gets the bug and end up showing few or no symptoms.
I'll work from home again today, because my work is requiring us to work from home. The moment return is an option, I'm going back to normal. Not that I don't like working from home, but there's things I need to do that I need access to the equipment at work to accomplish. Return to normal can't happen soon enough, and I don't see any need to keep any of this BS in place permanently.
“... “flatting the curve” has nothing to do with the area under the curve. “
I’m not here to flame you. I think you’re right. The area under the curve is largely constant.
But, the peak is obviously different, as is the distance in time that you mention.
That peak is beds in the hospital, in the ICU, and on a ventilator.
That’s what this overused “flattening the curve” is about. Too high a peak is Italy; people left to die with no treatment available.
There is obviously a limit, as you point out, on how long you can sit there trying to hold this, when you’re not getting anywhere.
Of course, work on treatment is “supposed” to be being done, while we’re in lockdown.
I’m high risk and so are most of my clients so I would take the train.
So if only 2 out of every flights crash would I fly?
______________________________
Horrible analogy. The death rate on corona is around 1 out of 100. What does 1 out of 2 have to do with anything?
Also, flying a plane is a choice based on convenience. Choosing to get corona might be a choice between having your livlihood destroyed or not.
C’mon people....
