Make America Less Stoopid

An application of Big Data I would support: using a database of the faces of people who are maskless covid deniers to reroute them from the hospitals when they catch covid into empty warehouses that get locked from the outside when full, so the resources of our hospitals and the valuable time of the doctors and nurses can go to people who actually deserve to be saved. Anyone in the warehouses who survives long enough for the outbreak to be contained can get treatment at that time. Anyone who criticizes this policy will be told "TheY Should have FoLLOwEd THe LaW!"

While we're at it, whenever people have church gatherings in violation of social distancing and mask rules, just lock them in there and barricade the windows. They can come out again when they've all been found to not have the covid.

Most of that won't fly on moral and ethical grounds.

I prefer the idea that they get charged the full medical bills (and standard amount of death & disability) for the folks they infect.

putting them at the end of the line for treatment would be nice, but might be hard to pull off.

However, there *are* laws (thanks to Typhoid Mary) that would allow them to be *forcibly* quarantined once they have it.
