Starting Anew
One of the most bizarre auctions of all time went viral in 2008, when Ian Usher from Australia decided that he needed some major changes in his daily routine. After he got divorced from his wife, he wanted to start all over again and bring his old lifestyle to a close. Why then not offer your whole life for sale? Ian Usher did accordingly and placed his house including the entire inventory on eBay. In addition, he also offered the highest bidder to take over his job and to introduce him to his friends. In the end, he left with nothing more than his passport and the auction proceeds worth 384,000.00 Euro.

Since the service began last month, more than 500,000 people have submitted a host of personal information to sign up for the service, which is free to join and is also free to providers. Two vaccine sites have begun testing the program, and the company said about 200 other providers had applied to participate.
Dr. B is just one attempt at coordinating the chaotic patchwork of public and private websites that allow eligible people to find vaccine appointments. Critics have said the current system is confusing, unreliable and often requires access to the internet, as well as the time to prowl websites for the rare appointment. In many places, it also largely ignores people who are not yet eligible for a shot, wasting the opportunity to get them on a formal waiting list.
While Dr. B does not solve all of those broader problems, if it scales up the way some hope that it will, it could serve as a model for a better, more equitable way of scheduling vaccinations.
“I think that’s a great idea,” said Sharon Whisenand, administrator of the Randolph County Health Department in rural Missouri.
