The sooner you punt the safer that you will be - or to put it another way the longer that you wait the greater the number of infected people so the higher the risk of coming into contact with an infected person
By that same logic, the sooner you get it, the sooner you get over it, the sooner you build an immunity to it, and the sooner life goes back to normal.
Problem is people will overload the system and panic over the killer virus if everyone gets infected now which will buckle and anarchy will arise. This is why the world is pushing for self isolation to spread out the cases and give it time to get the vaccine and other meds an be prepared to handle it.
Remember in the beginning people were dying like crazy because no one knew what they were treating, then the thing about high body temperatures and our minister saying we had temperature sensors at the airports which we later found out don't work. Now we know from everyone that actually has it currently that the temperature thing is only the already week in advanced stages. The actual infected living with it currently though say they don't have any temperature but a sore throat with dry cough and feels like a mild flu.
All they're being told to do as well is stay isolated and take vitamin C because we don't have any other medications yet and these guys are nearly done with the 2 week infection period, one already fully recovered in SA and no deaths in SA without any actual medication or treatment yet. Fucking amazing really.
When we fuckers finally go out into the sunshine and then start getting it, they'll already have the immunity for it and won't care anymore. Just like when people hold their kids back from crche because they get sick all the time but when they go to school they still get sick all the time while those that were in creche and got sick already have the immune system built up and don't.
