solution to COVID-19 pandemic
Published 4 mins ago on March 25, 2020

The Federalist, a right-wing publication that is one of President Donald Trumps most reliable defenders, has published an editorial that advocates deliberately spreading the coronavirus in a controlled manner as part of a strategy to end the pandemic more quickly.
The editorial, written by an Oregon-based dermatologist named Douglas Perednia, argues that social distancing will do too much harm to Americas economy, and that more outside the box measures are required to curb the disease.
The solution, he writes, is controlled voluntary infection.
CVI involves allowing people at low risk for severe complications to deliberately contract COVID-19 in a socially and medically responsible way so they become immune to the disease, he writes. People who are immune cannot pass on the disease to others.
