Topic: A reward system for Covid Free people.... - page 3. (Read 711 times)

It will make people try to be more careful like wearing mask and being sanitisers everywhere, this will be good.
but won't they also pretend not having covid instead just to get rewards while they already have and infect more people in the process.

Just being without a covid is already a reward for being careful. Not helping the people who got covid and without jobs is more like inhumane which they need immediate care.

Well, as you said.. Governments and the World Health Organization is rewarding the countries for people who are infected... is that not illogical? Why give governments money for people who got infected?..... does that make sense at all?  (Yes, the thinking behind it is to fund the consequences of this virus... but my idea will prevent it.)

You will have to think out of the box for this idea to work.... even if there are 1000s of loopholes and also negative consequences as a result of such an idea. (Why would governments be serious to curb the spread of the virus, if they get paid for people who are infected or who have died?)

Eli Khamarov said great words: "Poverty is like punishment for a crime you didn't commit". And that's 100% true. This proposal isn't directly in touch with the main subject of this thread but no one will reward you for being a good boy. I don't understand at all what's going on, the people who they save have dead are those with more than 1-2 chronic diseases and their state of being was already very critical. It would be better to see the statistics of those who dead with and without covid, both of them. Personally, I think that they play with statistics. Some countries rise statistics manually in order to get help with the form of money, i.e. grants from USA and Europe. In reality, they are making tons of money (big guys) with the current situation while it really hugely affects the population.

So, the reward for covid free people won't happen. No one will help you because you are a good guy! Also, this model of reward for me sounds illogical and not so good because maybe I have been covid free from the beginning but maybe I'll get infected tomorrow, after receiving the reward.

Btw I don't know if the reward for us is the money they give us, in reality that debt will be paid by US, it's like giving out a loan and paying yourself the loan that you gave away. A lot of illogical things happen in our world.

I think government can use reward for Covid Free people as another way to protect the people being infected because if they can give the reward, then the people will definitely follow the government health protocols in order to get the reward.

But on the other hand, government is too corrupt and I don't think they will make  an allocation about it because it's too expensive for them and will only be added to government spending specially for the country with higher number of population.

That would be a great idea and it surely encourage people to stay at home in order to be covid free a reward will be given to those people who are truly abiding the healthy protocols and regulations implemented by the government. It would be interesting event and it will be an effective way of not infecting virus to each and everyone.

You my friend are totally missing the point of this .....

When less people get sick... less of the government taxes are spend on hospitalization in public hospitals. (Also a massive strain on private medical aid funds) .....so an incentive like this will put more money back into government pockets. Also those funds will go where it is really needed.. (The saving will pay for the majority of these rewards) .... Do you know what it is costing the government to put 1 person on a ventilator for 1 month in extensive care?)

I think people should focus more on the positive side of this idea and less on how it would be impossible to implement. (First world countries are giving money away for FREE to stimulate economies.... why not add a little requirement to qualify for this)  

I think an incentive could work but that would be practically impossible because monetary rewards will soon be a problem for the government expenditure. I hate that the only thing that is keeping us alive is that we fear we are the one that might get infected and not make it but we can't do shit. I think the best solution here is for the governing bodies to create a far more effective and efficient way to contain the virus because the conventional way seems to have their own cracks that could get out of hand really quick.

Not just that...there is the possibility of people who are immune to the disease getting unfairly rewarded... If such people break the rules without catching the disease, they will still get paid. Things like this make the idea not so fair. I think it's better to just reward people who do the right things and obey the right rules

Reward or no reward people will do their best to avoid being affected by the Covid 19 virus because they all know that their lives is at stake so for me this government reward is not necessary as long as they provide health support to their people by implementing strict safety health protocols and giving food supply for them to survive. Rewards will just make the government to bankrupt specially to the over populated nations with weak economy.

I don't know if that is such a good idea because not everybody can control being infected. Imagine you work on a corona hospital and get infected by your patience. Is it really your fault? We shouldn't be discriminate towards hard working people. In my opinion it would be better to punish people who don't follow the savety rules. If you go out during curfew there should be hefty fine. Also the anti corona protesters should get jailed if  they infect them self's with the virus.

I have chosen to stay home and remain safe to protect myself and to protect others.  I choose to do this because I am not a selfish person and safety is most important during this global pandemic.

Some people do not care about keeping safe and keeping others safe so I think if there was a reward system in place that many people would want this reward and they would stay home.

But it is not normal to reward someone for doing the right thing.  We are all in this together and no one wants to see others become sick or even worse then that to become deathly ill.

We do not know what the Covid-19 pandemic is.  Yes, the virus exists.  It is a fact.  

However, we also see government manipulation to disenfranchise people, lower living standards, and abandon the real world in favor of virtual reality.  Previously, people have repeatedly met with various respiratory diseases, but this has never led to a restriction of the civil rights of people.  If a person fell ill, then he was treated.  If many people fell ill, they were isolated.  However, all of Humanity has now been isolated.  

Sometimes it seems to me that the world has gone crazy.  I would call it a panic attack.  In my opinion, in this situation, we understand little.

I am very worried about the separation of people.  Can we go back to our old life?

Actually thinking like this cannot be tolerated by people who do not comply with the security protocol rules against the Corona Virus.

Corona virus or the language of attack, which is better known as COVID-19, what people need to know is that COVID-19 does not only attack the elderly, what needs to be understood is that the Corona Virus is easily infected. The main target of the COVID-19 virus is the respiratory system, the medical language of "acute pneumonia" The COVID-19 virus does not recognize young and old, anyone who has been infected, be it babies, adults, pregnant women, elderly can cause death.

Technically what the government of each country is doing such as "lockdown" is a good process to lock down, decide, shut down access to the spread of COVID-19, on the other hand, to obey all the rules that are enforced such as wearing a mask, washing hands, Maintaining cleanliness and not having direct contact with people we don't know is also positive access to preventing contracting COVID-19, in essence:never neglect the safety rules, it can be fatal.

respect for those who adhere to safety rules in my opinion if it is done by local government is very positive.

We did have a reward. We are Covid Free.
Because of that, we didn't need to go thru a lot of tests just to find out how bad it is.
We also saved a lot of time. Instead of going to the hospital for check-ups or staying there alone, we stayed happily with our family.

I am not against rewards but I doubt someone in the government will pass that kind of bill.
I may be sad not seeing my kids play outside but, if that's what will keep them healthy then I'll endure it.

The longer I see that Covid is increasingly being taken for granted. Maybe even soon it will just disappear in people's minds. This is because it is possible that the handling and regulations are not very good in my country, so people feel that Covid is not dangerous. Things like this will certainly be difficult if it is going to apply gift giving to people who are free from Covid. For that, I really feel that giving gifts to people who are free from Covid must have a tight procedure and do not use it later.

This is possible to do but it will need a lot of resources and efforts for this to come into fruition. The first obstacle here is to attain a high accuracy rate when obtaining information with each person as to what their current status was and this would be the root of all before we can decide what to do next. Secondly as what you implied "exploitation" which can be a problem when we are distributing the rewards since there would always be corruption that would take place when this kind of event is happening. Thirdly, same as I said on the first we need a lot of resources for this one though the government would have a certain budget for this kind of events, the required resources for this one is surely of no joke.

people who are sick actually get financial assistance for medical treatment, not for other things that are not important. sick or healthy can be proven by tests. if all healthy people get the reward, the government will go bankrupt because it will surely reap the pros and cons. if chosen randomly it may still make sense but this can also be a field of crime for certain individuals. because evil intentions can arise regardless of condition, place, and status , only for get money.

I really like the idea of giving rewards to people who can get rid of COVID19. However, this reward system will not apply to
third world countries and countries with large populations. Because the government will find it difficult to find sources of funds
that can be allocated for the payment of these rewards. Besides, in my opinion, the main priority for assistance is people who
are positive for the corona virus.

I think that such reward system will not be worthy because at this time all people are already risking their lives not just for the sake of their own but as well as for their family and every people surrounding them. Working at times like this will be more essential rather than waiting for a reward to come just because you maintain covid free. Also, it might promote inequality and unfairness which might brought up another problem for many might see this as a discrimination and not a promotion to keep themselves covid free. Also, I think being healthy and still breathing is already a good reward for being covid free and nothing more can any reward pay the opportunity to live longer despite of the deadly virus surrounding our community.

It depends to the local government where you're residing. In my country, there's a mayor that's incentivizing a local area that won't be infected for 2 months. There will be an incentive, a cash reward. And by doing that, he's encouraging every place that's part of his jurisdiction to aim for that incentive and at the same time to help themselves lessen the infection.

Truly right. Christmas is coming soon and I'm thankful with this gift and wishing others to be the same.
