I don’t know anything about how effective that might be, but I imagine the logistics of transporting a live, deadly virus would be a nightmare.

In many locations you have hospitals close by with covid stations. So you could bring the people to the virus.

Wouldnt this just create the environment for a more resistant virus in a shorter period of time?

I did not calculated the chances yet but here is what my probability intuition is saying

Having 50% of population go through virus in one year creates a less fit environment for a more resistant mutation than having 50% of population being exposed to virus in 2-3 months.

Like more encounters over a shorter period of time is a good environment to allow survival of resistant mutations.

And that would work how, exactly?

For me, this would be a point where I would fully rely on the experts for deciding how to implement that step and check if the plan is feasible. I don't recommend executing such ideas without syncing with authorities and experts.

That shouldn't stop us from brain storming, though, and allow experts to decide, if it's an interesting idea or stupid.

Walk the people through the respiratory ICU ward without PPE? Not endorsing it, just brainstorming...
