CNBC's Rick Santelli suggests infecting 'everybody' with coronavirus because it could help economy

CNBC's Rick Santelli suggested that infecting"everybody" with COVID-19 coronavirus would make people"better off" because it might help lessen damage to financial markets, despite the virus likely killing millions of people in such a scenario.

"Maybe we'd be better off if we just gave it to everybody, and then in a month it would be over because the mortality rate of this probably isn't going to be any different if we did it that way," Santelli said."But the difference is we're wreaking havoc on global and domestic markets." The impact the coronavirus is having on the health of people who contract it seems far worse. Experts at the World Health Organization estimate that the mortality rate of COVID-19 is 3.4 percent, substantially higher than common infections like the seasonal flu.
