There's no reason to expect "Once the epidemic curve is going down and its well under control"
before there's a vaccine deployed or everyone has been infected and paid the personal cost of their viral lottery ticket.
Best bet might be a modifier herd immunity plan, of infecting healthy people with a miniscule viral load and hoping the immune system can handle it better than a heavy load from getting sneezed on or spending all day at a hospital.
- Balgair 7y agoThat's just modified variolation with a flu virus. We don't use that method anymore for many good reasons. Controlling a viral infection is nearly impossible, let alone literally billions of people, all at once. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variolation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variolation
