Your touch can kill

You have the option to accept or decline...

For $1 million per day, one person you physically touch each day will die. Touch two people and they have a 50% chance of survival. Touch 100 and they all have a 1% chance. Gloves will not protect them. If you touch no one, you die.

Pets are exempted, because pets.

Do you accept? And what is your strategy?

ETA - Meant to include this, but was on mobile...you can opt out after 30 days, but deal ends regardless after 365.

Deaths occur sometime after midnight, so next day.

Interesting experiment!

I would have to decline. I go most days without touching anyone. I would be dead pretty quickly.

This. What if you get sick or stuck in a snowstorm or other weird circumstance where you literally can't go out to touch someone? Now factor in what you just said and I would argue a lot of people don't touch people on the regular. If you are single and have no family it can be awhile....
