Assuming you would have to quarantine yourself after being purposely infected for at least two weeks and potentially until you have no symptoms, would you do so in order to rejoin the workforce as soon as possible?

What? No.
I’m getting paid to “work” from home. Why would I want to go back?

Do you think it’s sustainable for your company to continue to have you “work” from home indefinitely?
The soonest I’m going back is August. After then, I won’t need antibodies, I think.
No. I do not wish to be on a ventilator. It is really, really horrible. I have not experienced it myself, but have visited many people on ventilators and spoken to any number of them after they were removed from the ventilator.
Great idea. Try it out and report back. Best case: you get the antibodies and you can go back to work sooner. Worst case: you get nominated for a Darwin Award.
Hell no. I'm good good for a few years before anything that drastic.

I think most people in my company could work from home just as easily as in the office
Fukk the workforce
No. What if you happen to be in the 16% of ppl who get this virus and harbor it chronically for the rest of your life (until a treatment is found). Then you're screwed. You'll be in quarantine until a cure is found.
You sound like an idiot. It is LRC, I know. But you really are a special kind of idiot.
I'm not sure how a question yields such an aggressive response. I wasn't advocating for being infected.
I am among the lucky who have been able to work at home and continue to receive my full paycheck and benefits. I also don't have other mouths to feed. It's easy for me to continue to hunker down and ride this out.
However, if I had a job that can't legally be done at home (e.g. barber) and I had kids to clothe, house, and feed and if my to return to work was contingent on having antibodies present, I think the decision would be far more complex. Would you file for bankruptcy and allow your family to become homeless?
I would look into the antivirals.
If I could contract the virus and keep it at bay with antiinflammatories, antivirals, ... so it does not damage my lungs seriously and the medicines do not have horrible side effects, then yes.
No as is. I do not want lung damage.
Some people who get this have a mild case and recover. But there's also evidence of long term lung damage(don't want that) and Chris Cuomo's attempts to continue his CNN show while sick with this has me pretty well convinced that this is not just a cold that you get over, even if typically healthy.
I’ve been thinking about this one for the past week.
Work all the options and outcomes for the US over the next few months and a positive covid 19 antibody will be your get out of covid hell card.
I honestly wouldn’t be surprised to hear about covid parties (like back in the day when mom threw all the kids into the bed with the first one to get chicken pox). You hear someone has the bug and you try to get infected. Could happen. Crazy times and desperate people...
Chris Cuomo’s acting has been amazing.
He said he met the beast at night, chipped a tooth, and saw his dead father... his temperature was as hot as the sun. ..all in one night! If he was even close to as sick as he reported he would have been in a hospital not in his basement doing interviews. He showed off his lung X-ray as if he was dead. It looked basically normal. Please go back and watch his interviews they are entertaining.
There's got to be a way to fake an antibody test. I've successfully faked a dozen urine tests over the years. I know it's not the same, but it can't be that hard.
