You can take a pill that has an 90% likelihood of giving you an enormous mental benefit - much improved intelligence, wisdom, happiness, clarity, love, release from stress - but there’s a 10% chance that it will instead give you schizophrenia/bipolar/mania/psychosis for life. Yay or nay?

• take the pill
• no

Someone in your family has tested positive (once) for Covid, but has no symptoms. Someone else in your family is immunocompromised. Your whole family is planning to have Thanksgiving together at a third party’s house. Which person should stay home on Thanksgiving?

• The person who tested positive.
• The person who is immunocompromised.
• Both of them
• Neither of them

Slightly different scenario:
Someone in your family has some symptoms of Covid, and tested positive once, and negative 24 hours later. Someone else in your family is immunocompromised. Which person should stay home on Thanksgiving?

• The person who tested positive.
• The person who is immunocompromised.
• Both of them
• Neither of them

And for completeness: the person has tested positive for Covid and has all kinds of symptoms. Who should stay home

• The person who tested positive.
• The person who is immunocompromised.
• Both of them
• Neither of them

Similar scenario(s) but the immunocompromised person is not actually immunocompromised, but just super-careful/fearful of their health.

• Immunocompromised or just careful, the onus is still on that person to stay away
• Immunocompromised or just careful, the onus is still on the positive-testing person to stay away
• My answers are different if the person is immunocompromised or just careful.
