What if it is like the cold?<br>

<p>And issue t-shirts that say: "I survived COVID19 Camp 2020!"

<p>Yours was my first instinct when the college crowd was passing
it around at Spring Break early in the curve.... keep the
beach-towns open and provide lots of free/inexpensive services
to those who commit to staying in place and going through their
infection cycle in-place. At the time, it looked like that
demographic was not particularly prone to strong symptoms
requiring hospitalization. They could all nurse one another
through like they do for hangovers... a 2 week hangover I
guess... and then as they demonstrate that they've been through
the full cycle and are (very likely) no longer infectious then
they can return to their communities with an obligation to pick
up the high-risk-of-infection tasks that other more vulnerable
people should/might not. <br>
</p>
<p>Huge number of unvalidated assumptions here of course!</p>
<p>My dystopian version of your (Cody) idea would align with
deep-state conspiracy theorists who might liken this to the
kinds of Nazi "brown-shirt" exercises back in the day, enlisting
children to (sometimes) turn their parents/family in for
questionable behaviour/talk/associations. A month of
"programming and propoganda into a neofascist liberal
agenda!!!!!!". Although at this point, it is *more* likely
that Red State/Red Hatters would be the ones to send *their*
kids to Christian COVID Camp with all of the same features my
dystopian view suggests but with a couple of bits flipped. I
can now see pitched canoe battles in the middle of the lake
between the red-team and blue-team camps... it might help with
mixing the COVID strains (tongue-in-cheek) that might be
evolving in these two otherwise mutually isolating populations.</p>
