I am prepared to hear a better alternative set of treatments, but at present, the idea of permitting people freely to enter from infected to non-infected airports, to overload inadequately prepared medical facilities (including those in the U.S. and Europe), and to engage in any other behavior than keeping people from infecting more people, would appear to be the height of folly, lunacy, and stupidity.Bernard Brandthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00159541603126407072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4624586630299165335.post-65702168708334846632014-10-12T08:19:09.929+01:002014-10-12T08:19:09.929+01:00Would an expert prepare the population for complia...Would an expert prepare the population for compliance with policy A on Q1 do so by staging a well-publicised pantomime in which a nurse is sent to an infected area, "contracts the disease", is then evacuated "under quarantine" and finally "cured' by treatment in a London hospital?<br /><br />The nudge unit in action, perhaps.Christiannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4624586630299165335.post-193387006941980222014-10-10T23:08:56.765+01:002014-10-10T23:08:56.765+01:00Great.

No doubt these are hard choices, but we may all have to do some things we don't want to do so as to reduce risks for everyone.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09320614837348759094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4624586630299165335.post-27172310842513890962014-10-09T16:45:34.612+01:002014-10-09T16:45:34.612+01:00With question 1, I worry B wouldn't work so we...With question 1, I worry B wouldn't work so well, people don't want to be quarantined, in their homes with a sick person, even a family member, so they don't report and the virus spread further. On the other hand option A people don't want to go to the treatment center because most people come back dead. However I expect after a few rounds of some people coming back alive having decent nursing care, perhaps that can be overcome. Neither solution works particularly well, and thinking one has a great advantage over the other doesn't take into account human response to incentives.
