We are not doing remotely close to enough. The only places doing the right thing at this point are Ohio, the SF Bay area, and Bergen County, NJ. We are careening to Italy status and there are going to be a lot of people wonder why they weren't adequately warned.
Bergen county is now backing off their lockdown, saying they will not close the malls.

I've got my 60 lbs bag of rice, case of soy sauce and a working rice cooker all set up and ready rock, just like years ago when I was first out on my own.
Maybe it sounds like a crazy idea, but when they say 70% of people will end up getting it anyway, would it make sense to deliberately and systematically infect all healthy people under 60 under controlled conditions?
So far, the winner vote goes to Taiwan because they acted so early.
Being on an island surrounded by water with only 24 million people, sure helped as well, if only the US was an island with that amount of people total!

I thought about that, what if you injected just the minimum about of virus that would cause an infection in someone, so their body can have time to build up an immune response and get those new antibodies going, I wouldn't mind being the first volunteer?

Thats basically the point of social distancing. It is not to completely contain it just slow the rise to the max infection rate so the healthcare system isn't overwhelmed.

They aren't trying to stop the virus. They are trying to spread out how many get infected at any given time.
And seeing this is a novel virus..how do you determine "controlled conditions" for a brand new virus in the human body ?
Reactions vary even among healthy.
One 39 year old gets a cough; another ends up in ICU on a ventilator like that doctor in NY; another dies (like that doctor in China)
