Maggie’s Florida- we should expose first responders to Covid 19

MIAMI BEACH — A South Florida leader appeared to propose putting firefighters in harm’s way once they’re out of quarantine with the new coronavirus.

Miami Beach Commissioner Ricky Arriola on Friday at an emergency city meeting. He suggested that if people who survive the coronavirus then have immunity — like the chicken pox — then the city can take steps to help others.

“Assuming you make it through,” Arriola said, before describing what he called a “dangerous but bold” idea: “First responders voluntarily taking one for the team” and then developing immunity.

Arriola did not elaborate what he meant by the phrase “taking one for the team.

You first, commissioner.

Yes America, some of your elected officials are sadly, THIS STUPID. I mean after all, depending on complications, it COULD well be first responder's lives we are talking about. SMH Kinda like all the folks on the beaches...people in the parks... craziness!

Sheltering in place hasn't stopped the spread.

So we have two options?
1: herd immunity where everyone gets it and builds up antibodies or dies
2: Vaccinate everyone - CDC estimates 18 months best case before vaccine even starts to become available.

Sadly, in 18 months time I bet most first responders will have been exposed to it intentionally or not... Yet, fuck those that volunteer others to, but won't "take one for the team" first.
