Which would you rather prefer...

 

Operation Infection :

All healthy people, regardless of age, will be infected with Covid-19. The entire population then goes into a 2 week quarantine. At the end of two weeks, if you show no symptoms, or did not get sick, you may get out of quarantine. If you did get sick or show any symptoms, you must stay quarantined another two weeks, or until you are healthy again.

 

Operation Quarantine :

Everyone, regardless of age, health, etc, goes into quarantine for 2 weeks.  At the end of two weeks, everyone is allowed out, regardless of how they feel.

 

Both scenarios involve the following.  People would be given 3-5 days to get home and stocked up on any essentials they may need. A list will be made showing what is recommended you have on hand, to hopefully avoid people buying up 300 pounds of pasta when they only need 10.  Only essential personal allowed out, like police, fire fighters, ambulance crews, doctors, nurses, farmers/farm hands. Hospitals will be open, but not allowing any visitors, unless it's an end of life situation. Looters/Trespassers may be dealt with severe force without consequences. Two days before the quarantine ends, businesses may bring in essential personnel that have been screened to get their companies prepared to open back up at the end of quarantine.

I'm not going into quarantine unless I get sick. 

That’s what makes this virus so insipid, we don’t quarantine until we show symptoms. Meanwhile, we are serving as vectors as it incubates; unaware that we have it. Crazy.

I get it your point.

 

We had a scare at the office last week, but it turned out to me just a scare

      Operation Infection will kill 3 to 5% of those infected.  Is that intended or unintended consequences?  If that "all healthy people" is your escape plan for that scenario, I think it fails.

 

Intended.  If you're gonna die from it, you're gonna die. So far though, healthy people have survived, it's the ones with underlying conditions that have died, hence why they will not be infected. If they catch it, it will be through natural means.

That's why the countries that have contained it all do intensive contact tracing (including Big Data from tickets and cell phones to determine, were you on the same plane or bus as someone with covid-19?  If you were, you get isolated and tested.

 

The WHO-China joint report said 1,800 contact tracing teams of 5 (9,000 contact tracers) in the city of Wuhan alone.

It’s not like we didn’t know all this well in advance. Perhaps the single greatest case of malpractice in history.

I'd vote for any option in any situation that allows that response.
