There were a few labs that are paying people to expose themselves to coronavirus so that they can better understand the virus and potentially come up with a vaccine quicker. They inject you with a weaker strain of the virus, but there are still many unknowns at this point. There was reported cases that people who survived, but got reinfected again. Also, some of these labs are only paying like $4000, which is ridiculous imo.

https://www.iflscience.com/health-and-medicine/this-lab-will-pay-you-to-get-infected-with-coronavirus/

But if someone offered me 250k, I might consider it. I'm young, healthy and would be monitored by health professionals. And knowing how the virus works the second someone is exposed, is very helpful for doctors and scientists. Plus it would be a cool story. I'd probably vlog my experience on Youtube for that ad revenue.

Is there any price you'd take to infect yourself?

$4000 is more than most people's monthly salary. Hell yeah I would take it.

I'm sorry, but 10,000 of ANYTHING on a PS2 would absolutely destroy your framerate. It'd be like playing chess through the mail. ~johnboy1

Would anybody sell their car for money?

I hear they're only offering $4,000 for the model I own so I would not.

But if they offered $250,000? Definitely!

The ones I saw were 4,500 ($5500) for a two week trial. Total lockdown during the testing.

There are reports that people infected are at risk at have lung issues for the rest of their lives. Is that worth 4k?

If you are under 60 your chance of dying is so negligible it's not even worth worrying about.

This. I might do it for a bunch of money since I'm young. Not a pathetic amount like 4K, though.
