Best idea so far. Make a calculation how much they would cost to take care of in case they got Covid, give 80% of that directly to them if they get vaccinated. It's almost like investing in your own people.

That wouldn't work, as the vast majority of people cost $0 to care for if they get COVID.

In the short term, perhaps, in the long term it's looking not so rosy, even for the apparently asymptomatic.

quarantine is definitely more expensive than $0, unless their time is worthless
