Stupid question (or maybe not?) but theoretically speaking would someone who's willing to take the chance (~96%) benefit from intentionally contracting COVID now, while hospitals (in the US) are still no where near capacity, get treatment, recover and be immune?
- gonational 7y ago14% of recovered cases in one area (South Korea, IIRC) have become infected again, and one analysis showed that re-infection may be worse than the first time. Sorry, I don’t have any citation for this, because it’s been days since I read it.
- _bxg1 7y agoIt would be pretty selfish because you'd become a potential source for other people to get infected
- Tepix 7y agoI think it's smarter to try to get infected as late as possible. Chances are treatments are better.
