    Let's just pretend some eccentric billionaire like Bill Gates, Ted Turner or some other eccentric billionaire came up to you on a whim, and said they'd pay you any amount of money you wanted to get you to agree to stay quarantined inside a haunted place of their choosing.  You can only leave the premises to go to work, buy supplies and doing various other necessities like taking out trash, jogging and etc.  However, you have to stay in that haunted place like it was your own home, and sleep there majority of the days your forced to stay quarantined in there. 

    How long you'll be forced to be quarantined in this place?  It depends on how long the federal government continues the shutdown, so you could find yourself staying there for possibly weeks or maybe over a year; depending on when the coronavirus situation settles.

    Now, you can have other people stay with you if you like, but they won't be paid to live there with you, unless you pay them part of your cut to stay in that haunted place.  What you do in the place doesn't matter, so you could literally do anything you wanted in the house, but you can't leave unless it's under any of the conditions I already stated. 

    Let's also say the house that this billionaire assigns you to is known to have various ghosts and demons inside that are known to kill anyone who sets foot in that place.  However, you have to sleep there almost every night like it was your own home until the quarantine mandate is lifted by our government.  Now given this information, would you agree to stay quarantined in an alleged haunted house full of ghosts and demons that want to kill you? 

    And if you did agree, then how much would you ask for?  And please don't say some nonsensical answer like all the money in the world, or whatever the hell Bill Gates' net worth is.  Please be reasonable when you say what you would demand as financial compensation. 

    Edit:  Also keep in mind if you don't stay quarantined inside this place, and you sleep majority of the nights at another person's house instead, while claiming you were quarantined there, then you automatically forfeit any chance of getting your money.

    And not that it matters.  But if any of you are curious as to why this billionaire is making such an offer to you, we'll just say he has a bet going on with another billionaire about it.  The other billionaire you don't meet bets that you won't last a day in that house, while the one that's making you the offer bets that you'll stay in that house as instructed.  What are they betting? One whole dollar.  lol  tongue

      I don't believe in ghosts or demons, so of course I would do it. I'd bring my husband with me, and we'd split the money. My only concern would be the basic comfort of the house. I don't want to live in some dilapidated house that would be dangerous for other reasons. I think a million dollars would cover it. That doesn't seem unreasonable for the entertainment of a billionaire.

        What if the billionaire said he would have the house cleaned, santized and fumigated before you were quarantined in there, and he would hire a pest exterminator as well.  Would you have reservations then?  lol

          There would be non-superstitious folk beating the door down to volunteer, Steve. I'd be one of them....

    Some people might opt for it to earn money while many might find it not feasible.

      lol  Same here.  At the right price, I'll do it as long as the house was sprayed and fumigated beforehand.  lol.
