Your on to something here. Maybe they could also be trained and used temporarily to look after the elderly too after they have recovered and have immunity. Deliver meals supplies, work in homes etc. Give them a purpose in their free time.Not a bad idea.. and while you're at it you can infect the lot and they'll then have immunity when done and can be drafted in the US forces to combat the virus.
Students with no school anymore are going to be trouble and a handful, so why not put them to good use for the community.
Should work on this idea and put it to people in charge.
