      Though it is a disturbing & extreme option, we should seriously consider deliberately infecting folks with coronavirus, to spread out the number of critically ill people over time, and to ensure that critical infrastructure remains available to help sick. http://www.overcomingbias.com/2020/02/consider-controlled-infection.html …

      Some epidemiologists may be discussing that option, but we don’t even know if you get immunity, and what lasting effects it leaves on you. It may be more reasonable to set up labs on all airports and not let anyone enter a plane without a swab.

          No. This hasn’t been even mentioned by anyone I know of in my friend, including those in emergency response. The human rights violations of purposely infecting people with coronavirus… no. This is the same panic talk that used to surround Ebola.

          Is it a human rights violation to offer to PAY people to be exposed?

          We are already trying to prevent spread, and sure lets do more there, but let's also have backup plans in case that doesn't work.

          The US is not trying to prevent spread, just slowing it down. That may be shortsighted.

          Seconded. What is the base rate for getting natural immunity after a virus? And how long until we get data about it?

          If be surprised if any epidemiologist would support this. What would you do with so many swabs? It would, within a day or two, choke up every lab on the planet, and prevent far more useful work. And in people just infected it wouldn't work. So you'd get false negatives/positives.
