CNBC's Rick Santelli (screengrab)
One business television personality has a fascinating solution to the coronavirus epidemic: deliberately infect everyone.
CNBC's Rick Santelli suggested that such a move could lessen the impact on the economy.
The World Health Organization currently estimates -- off of incomplete data -- the COVID-19 coronavirus death rate to be 3.4%. The U.S. Census Bureau estimated the population for the country last July was 328 million. That means Santelli's proposal could quickly result in the death of over 11 million Americans.
