A reward system for Covid Free people....

[Haunebu]

A reward system in this scenario doesn't make any sense at all. World governments are already having a tough time trying to control the virus and revive the economy at the same time which is why providing a financial incentive to control the virus is not possible in my opinion.

Most people won't care about these incentives, distancing rules or the virus itself and will go about their daily life and that is the reality.

Vaccines from major pharmaceutical companies are already being distributed and administered around the world slowly and steadily which is the only permanent solution in this case.

People being tested ‘regularly’ means resources for testing would be used on people again, if they already tested negative just to monitor them. If they remain negative they will get a reward, which will then use up government resources for incentives on the COVID-negative people instead of that resource being used into treating those who already contracted it. It’s a poor allocation of resources, plus if they are going to use rapid test kits for those tests, there’s a high chance that most of those will turn false negatives, rewarding people wrongly.

The government should come up with better health guidelines if they are yet to receive the vaccine IMO. Rewarding people wouldn’f achieve much, based on historical data and experiences as well.

Do not be infected is already a rewards no need to ask for money rewards as long as you and your family is safe . for what you think is another expense to the government, government still trying to recover  all the lost they experience because of this pandemic. So no need to ask them for another grant that you know that still under recovering .

[dimonstration]

Having some kind of rewards might just be wishful thinking from us.

There are still more things that should be consider in doing it as it require testing as well monitoring that will cause alot, it's hard to do it when there are plenty of people in a community, we know being Covid Free is already a reward we should not take for granted, its hard to have virus and it's hard if we know someone who have the virus so it's better to reward ourselves by being Covid Free for ourselves and the people around us. Let others who didn't mind their well being suffer the consequences.

Agreed, The problem was people always feel to be entitled a reward for following the government especially this pandemic. Many people always rely on government for sustaining there needs to fight Covid-19. Reward base for Covid free will cost extra expenses instead of using it to purchase vaccine once available in the market.

Vaccine is already being distribute and no need to give extra expenses to discipline people just avoid the virus. They should protect themselves at first place.

I don't think people that stay free should be incentives. It is not as there are proven way to stay without contracting the virus but rather control measure to minimize the risk of contracting the virus. A lot of people that have the virus can't even explain how they get it. And by the way, in many countries millions of dollars are being used to safe peoples life so it is better to channel the Money in strengthen the health sector rather than rewarding people that stay safe. Already, there are palliative and survival funds for everyone both people that contract the virus and those that does not

[Febo]

I wish we lived in a world where governments could implement a system to reward people that stay Covid free.

Man not having covid-19 is a huge reward. You can die. You can have serious lungs disabilities. You can only lose sense of smell. Do you know how food will taste if you will only lose sense of smell? Try it today when you eat lunch. Eat with your nose closed. Not having covid-19 is huge.  

[blockman]

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.

I wish we lived in a world where governments could implement a system to reward people that stay Covid free.

Man not having covid-19 is a huge reward.

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

[Yatsan]

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.

[MCobian]

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.

[inoes]

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.

[pecson134]

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.

[nemey]

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.

[Reid]

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.

[YOSHIE]

Currently nothing is done to incentivize people to stay Covid free.... just the fear ... but even that is not enough. (Most young people think Covid only kills older people, so they just ignore the rules to stay safe)

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.

[Smartprofit]

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?

[mich]

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.

[Mauser]

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.

[jaocoincrypto18]

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.

[Ucy]

... There are so many circumstances where you could strictly be following government guidelines and still be able to catch it through no fault of your own.

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
