What kind of choice is that?
I have been telling people it's going to be like an elephant passing through a snake. You want to be well behind the elephant.
You also want to play a waiting game. If you can avoid catching it for six months, a lot could happen. The medical community could figure out how to treat it. Better treatments or amelioratives could become available.
The mortality rate right now is roughly 4%. Heaven knows what happens to that rate if there aren't enough respirators or hospital beds available.
