Has this been done before anywhere on a large scale?
How is it done, do they just say "it's safe, you can go back to work now wink wink", do they encourage virus parties like new-age-parents? Are they going to convince the public that everyone should get infected in their allotted wave for the common good? Will they go door to door and just shoot in a blast of viruses? Won't people catch on if they alternate between strict and lessened isolation rules and figure "they're trying to trick me into getting infected, I'm not going back to working at the office, thanks"?
I absolutely get the idea, but it's not like you're dealing with a population that has it's memory reset every morning and just acts on the information available today.

- luckylion 7y agoI don't know, can you? I believe what you see on Twitter is tribalism in it's purest and decentralized form. It's many smaller and larger tribes clashing all the time, because of how it's set up. People don't forget what $memberOfTheirTribe did or said last week, they fall in line because it's their tribe vs that other tribe, and consistence or purity or adherence to tribal values are less important than winning the battle.
