“I feel that this is such a clear and obvious choice for someone healthy and young,” one volunteer for a coronavirus human challenge study explained.

that eight subjects participating in the first phase of a clinical trial led by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases showed neutralizing antibodies., an advocacy and educational group for kidney transplantation, tells Yahoo Life, “The flu kills about 1,000 people per day around the world on average, so even if coronavirus only ends up roughly on the level of flu by the time a vaccine is developed , that would still represent at least 1,000 [saved] lives per day.

Poland says while aiming for a quicker vaccine is admirable, science has not yet established the ethical framework for a pandemic vaccine because there is currently no treatment for COVID-19 and the fast-changing virus has the potential to mutate. As of Wednesday afternoon, there are more than 24,000 1 Day Sooner volunteers from around the world, ranging from students to medical doctors and military veterans.

Morrison shared some of the many reasons why people have felt compelled to sign up. “I feel that this is such a clear and obvious choice for someone healthy and young,” one volunteer wrote on an application displayed on the 1 Day Sooner website; another stated, “I’d like to be helpful.” People also volunteer for religious reasons, to reduce economic damage and to maximize the lockdown: “So I don’t look back on my time during this crisis as a complete waste.” And as one explained, “Quarantine sucks, and dying sucks more.”
