You have just been appointed King of the World, and what you say goes. Your top priority is to end the Covid pandemic. What would you do?


Choose 144 of the most beautiful women of child bearing ages that speak English; another 144 that are smart people. Build a very special city with a dome over it for my people to live in and then nuke the world.


Of course you know that would never happen. Nobody would follow those orders and kill themselves along with their own family just to obey me, "the King of the world". I'd be strung up within minutes of giving the order. LOL

I do think I'd require all public servants to get vaccinated or they can simply find another job. I don't just mean those who get paid by my kingdom, I mean everyone that actually provides a service where they come in contact with other people. I'd reward those that did get vaccinated too.

A few tyrant wannabes here, I see


In this day and time some Americans’ no longer want to do what is best for their fellow man, woman and child. Some Americans’ need to be persuaded to do the right thing, unlike the almost three million Americans that have given their lives in the military to wars.
In America of the past people rolled up their sleeves to save themselves and their fellow person against, Spanish flu, Smallpox and Polio to name a few.

The fact is as of September 8, 2021, are that the new 99 percenters: The vast majority of Americans who are getting serious cases of COVID-19 or dying are unvaccinated (NYTimes).
Covid 19 and it’s variants doesn’t care about your religion, race or political choices it’s a virus that wants your body so it can grow not caring what it does to you or anyone. If you are not willing to listen to doctors and get vaccinated, then why would you be willing for their help after you get covid.

Lastly one of my worst fears has been to take another’s life by my actions!

No matter what I dictate, my Commands will be in line with whatever socio-political views that I had before I became king. Just like everyone else.

Jerry, although COVID-19 has a world-changing impact, my first order as King of the World would be to end cancer and especially starting with those affecting children for no parents should bear the pain of losing a child to it. More people have been impacted by it, families impacted by it, and deaths caused by cancer than ever will be by COVID-19.

Sorry, but those who put you in charge want Covid to end.

I would make medicines to reduce the effects when you get covid. Like they do with the flu. Covid is going to be here forever and the vaccines, mask mandates, shutdowns do not work. I am not anti-vax but people are still getting covid.

Tell people to stop makin' so many babies. Overpopulation is the root cause of worldwide hunger, climate change, poverty, crime and to a large degree, war and pandemics like COVID.

This is a perfect solution. Many antivaxxers would immediately run for vaccine.

I'm pretty sure everyone will take extreme precaution after that.

I would strongly encourage those over 60 years to get vaccinated and boosted. In fact, over 95% of this age group are already vaccinated and boosted. For those under 60, I would encourage them to be vaccinated but allow them to make their own choices. I would also consider natural immunity acquired by previously having the disease to be at least the equivalent and most likely superior to vaccinations. More and more large, peer-reviewed studies are showing this to be the case. While I wouldn't encourage those under 18 getting vaccinated, I wouldn't deny anyone access to vaccines and boosters either.

I would also make sure that all of the therapeutics for treating Covid be made available to anyone who wanted it. I am 80 years old and have been vaccinated and boosted but the reality is that this condition does not make you immune to the latest variants or any of them for that matter. God forbid, I should contract CoVid, I want access to anything that may help me survive the disease including all of the banned therapeutics. Who wouldn't.

But I'm not the king and the real king, Dr. Faucci won't have any of this as it diminishes his position.

I would do what I thought should have been done from the beginning.

I would gather all of the info on symptoms, and make it readily and clearly available.

Then I would gather all of the info on treatments, along with a reasonably expected likelihood to succeed.

Then I would gather all of the info about the vaccines, good and bad, and make them available.

Then I would tell every American to look over the information, and how it interacts with your life and the lives of your family members. Then discuss it, as needed with your doctor and/or religious leadership, and anyone else you may feel a need to hear from. Maybe even with your friend to share ideas.

Then I would advise people on what those choices may mean, involving what may result from what you do or not do, and what may result upon you from what others choose to do or not do.

Then I would say to make a choice and do what you choose to do or not to do.

And none of it would involve any politics, from either side. And I would recommend local governments to take local charge on what needs to be done, but do not do things that have major impacts unless absolutely necessary, and try to keep it limited.

To me, that is what a free country would do for their people, ALL of the people.

If only we had the power to do exactly as you suggest it would help this planet. I don't believe it would ever come to fruition.
