Search Results: hard to pick

Londoners looking to pick up a hard-earned £3,507 ($4,587) will have an excellent opportunity to do so, and the only catch is that they'll have to get sick and maybe (but probably not) die.

Those desperate enough for that type of cash can volunteer themselves to be human guinea pigs for the Queen Mary BioEnterprises Innovation Centre in London, as two dozen volunteers are being sought to be injected with the coronavirus and then take part in a flu camp.

The ultimate goal is for a company called hVIVO to try and find a vaccine for the disease which has, thus far, killed nearly 4,000 people worldwide.

In addition to being sick, those given the virus will have to be quarantined away from people for two weeks, eat a restricted diet, and avoid exercise.
