In some universities in Spain, they have mandatory antibody tests, and they divide students in 3 groups: the ones with antibodies, the ones without and sick people that can follow the classes online.

To enter the buildings in the campus, you need to get a "passport", after completing antibody test and lots of questions... Some preconditions, like being asthmatic disqualifies you (so you need to follow classes online). Also, they have several new rules, like using only stairs to move across floors, minimum distance, thermal cameras, etc.

It's a new world in many aspects.

From a game theory perspective it seems very risky to give young people an incentive to be infected. When people have tangible benefits from having antibodies, a subset of the population is sure to "aquire" them.

With those complex rules (have antibodies but use an inhaler means you are banned), would it not just be better to have everything online?

Reading this, I can't believe how far behind North America is with respect to this virus. When it comes to day to day life, we have very little new, quality information compared to March.

I'm not saying what Spain is doing is great, but it feels like an iterative step to remove a few top layers of anxiety

It's been fascinating in a dark way to see how cultural differences from place to place are translating into vastly different responses to this situation (and vastly different outcomes) from country to country and from state to state within the US.

How often do we get to see the entire world deal with the same problem at the same time for such a sustained period?
