In the excellent movie “Contagion,” those who are vaccinated (given by lottery) or recovered wear a bracelet and can mingle out in society.

The others stay in lockdown, waiting for their lottery turn for a vaccine.

But the bracelet “solution” would incentivize people to go out and try to catch the virus, to get the lockdown over with. (In the movie though, the virus was far more deadly.)

I know someone who got covid in April (tested positive as did her whole household, each had varying levels of symptoms and one had no symptoms), and I feel sorry for her that she nevertheless has to wear a mask etc ever since, even though she can neither infect nor be infected.

The theory of it may be OK, but implementation is the slipperiest slope in the universe. Too reminiscent of what's being said about it being a run-up to the Mark of the Beast.
