I wish we lived in a world where governments could implement a system to reward people that stay Covid free. We see huge amounts of money being send to people for economic boosters and social grants being paid, but no incentive to reward people that adhere to the rules and those that are staying Covid free.
I'm sick of all the handouts. So many people around me have pocketed tens of thousands USD in handouts from stimulus funds, unemployment that should have run out many months ago, etc.
Managing to not get sick should not justify yet another government handout. How about we go back to a system where people make an honest living, instead of sucking on the government teat?
You people are turning me into a conservative.....
You my friend are totally missing the point of this .....
When less people get sick... less of the government taxes are spend on hospitalization in public hospitals. (Also a massive strain on private medical aid funds) .....so an incentive like this will put more money back into government pockets. Also those funds will go where it is really needed.. (The saving will pay for the majority of these rewards) .... Do you know what it is costing the government to put 1 person on a ventilator for 1 month?)
I think people should focus more on the positive side of this idea and less on how it would be impossible to implement. (First world countries are giving money away for FREE to stimulate economies.... why not add a little requirement to qualify for this)
