A Nobel Prize-winning economist is calling on the government to test every person in the United States for the coronavirus to get the country back to normal this summer, for a cool $100 billion.
Paul Romer, a former World Bank chief economist who won the Nobel Prize in 2018 for modeling the US' and global economies, toldthe government should test every person every two weeks and isolate those who tested positive. He said it would probably cost about $100 billion, which might sound like a lot, but it isn't in comparison to what Congress has already spent — about $2 trillion — on dealing with the coronavirus, with more government spending to come, if parts of the country remain closed.: "It's totally in our control to fix this. We should be spending $100 billion on the testing. We should just get it going. It's just not that hard.
Economist no virologist. So shut up.
BS FREE people need no test to work.
😂
Let’s get it done! A lot cheaper than another trillion or 2 in bail outs.
It's like what's the point after the testing they still get infected? Are we going to be testing every 14 days in forever like porn stars?
I can see where hes coming from an economic stand point but how would testing everyone be the solution, people can catch it more than once. Just because you have a nobel prize doesn't make you king smarty pants economics
Test everyone for coronavirus every two weeks or test everyone for a coronavirus antibodies once 🤔 ........ he's not a very good economist
LOL, pure nonsense. What if during 25% to 30% of tests the majority comes back positive, would it not imply that herd immunity is already moving at fast past? Data reflects over 90 survival rate, so why such nonsensical ideas?
Who gives a shit? $100billion is literally not a concern for our government.
