The Wuhan coronavirus pandemic’s effects have been felt. The world economy has ground to a halt, 26 million Americans are unemployed, and the economy contracted by nearly 5 percent in the first quarter of 2020. Stay-at-home orders were issued to curb the spread and prevent hospitals from being overrun. The good news is that the curve has flattened, even in New York City, ground zero for the US-based outbreak. For most of the country, they can start looking to roadmaps to re-opening, which should occur as soon and as safely as possible. There will be setbacks, however, since we still don’t have a vaccine. In all, mass sporting events and concerts probably won’t be permitted until the Fall of 2021. We need that vaccine, which takes time, but 3,300 people from 52 nations are volunteering to be exposed to the virus in order to give vaccine testing a “head start”.
As the saying goes, “not all heroes wear capes.” In the meantime, we have antibody testing has slowly been showing that scores of people have had the virus and recovered. Regarding therapeutics, Gilead Sciences Inc’s anti-viral trials have proven successful. We’re not out of the woods, but it looks as if the worst is behind us.

Will they volunteer also to be imprisoned and completely isolated from society for up to a year or is this a ruse to start a second wave?
From the article: “...re-opening, which should occur as soon and as safely as possible...”
Those are mutually exclusive.
Just my opinion, these people are crazy. They must believe it is just another “flu.

I am volunteering to not volunteer for anything.
That’s probably the effects of people being on ventilators for too long and unnecessarily. I wouldn’t take the vaccine either though. Since I’m 40 and have no serious health problems.
Chances are this virus is stuck with us like the flu is stuck with us. Not saying this is exactly how it will happen, but I am saying to prepare for the worst.
I’m prepared, lol, but the important thing for the Deep State to do is to create a second wave of panic that coincides with the November election.
Well don’t you believe that vaccines will help? These people sure do, and they want to do what’s neccessary to help create the protection for others. My children are denied the vaccines that people say children should never be without, such as measles, all over this virus being more important. The local hospital is denying people accident and cancer treatments as well, all for this virus.
Don’t ask me how we ever continued with our lives in many past disasters.
“more cases”
Better put a (*) by the statistic and put them inside cages at the CDC.
There was a white American who volunteered for experimental treatment while he was suffering from ebola. He got stuffed in the control group, given placebo, and had to tough it out. In the end, he lost his girlfriend and his family and maybe his job.
Anyone hospitalized in the US should be ready to bombarded by med students recruiting bodies for studies. They get you at discharge time. When you are in a weakened state of mind just wanting to escape.
Really? Folks agree to risk their own well-being in hopes of being of service to others and you come up with a mealy-mouthed slur?
There are some comments from three of them behind the article link. All 3,300 of them have my gratitude and respect for their courage and generosity. People who entertain others while pretending to be heroes wear capes. The young people participating in the trial are real heroes.
People are great. TPTB, not so much.
I volunteer to have the entire Congress and Senate infected so we can try out the vaccine on them.
I’m 60 years old, and if they were doing this in Virginia, and offering me $3000, I’d sign up in an instant.
I’m healthy, no comorbidities, so the death rate for the virus is extremely low. And I think the vaccine will work anyway, and then I’m vaccinated.
