Quick Question:

[CLG]

Nope. Not gambling with my life unless it’s a matter of survival. 

[mwright350]

Has to depend on your circumstances right?  I, personally, would not.  While the money would be tempting and the risk of death low for me it would not be worth even the small risk of missing out on seeing my son grow up.

[Wolfcop]

This is the best thing I could do for those who would miss me, so yes. You have a chance to catch it anyway. 

[DeSim]

Absolutely

For 1 million dollars would you take part in an activity that would most likely give you Covid 19? 

I would do it for less than that.

[bababoey]

A lot of us, me included, are doing it every day for far less.  So that's not really a question is it?

[electro's horse]

technically i pay to do it, and it happens every day.

[toldozer]

Yeah gimme the money.  I can stay from anyone that would be considered a higher risk for a month.

Where do I sign?

I'm staring down the barrel of 59 years old, in very good health, no underlying health conditions, and for a number of reasons I have a lot of confidence in my immune system.  We have friends about my age or a few years older who, if I were in their general health, my answer would probably be different.  

Besides, even though I work out of my house and telecommute, I was traveling quite a bit when this thing emerged.  I'm pretty sure I was exposed to it already.  Given that, where do I collect?

 

[mccjeff]

No. At my age the time is more important to me than the money. And before anyone says that quarantine time is not quality time I will politely disagree. I worked my entire life to get to this point and the time I am spending with my wife these days is the big payoff. Can't go to a restaurant as often? Have to wear a mask in public?  Can't go to a bar and see a band? Can't go to a 3 day Phish run at MSG? For me, those are minor inconveniences if it means I get to spend one more day with her.

[pantherking83]

I will do it for 50 k right now 

[Khyber53]

Let's see the cash and the contract. It'll probably kill me, but if I can get the money deposited into the family account, it'll go to a good cause.

 

[gofightwin]

I take the same chance every time I go to Harris Teeter and see hardly anyone in a mask.  My parents live 500 miles away so I couldn't give it to them.  So yes (assuming it's a million tax free).   If I am part of the tiny fraction that dies of it, at least my kid would be set with no debt.

[Brooklyn 3.0]

Sure.
