The takeaway from that thread is that you will do well to contract the virus as soon as possible.

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.
