A minor change in individual behavior can completely change the rest of our odds. From a public health POV, it is better that you get sick later than today (kind of like tax deferral) - this is for several reasons Having everyone get sick at once puts a strain on healthcare There will be better knowledge of the treatment options over time Delayed onset of illness gives public health officials and drug manufactures time to ramp up drugs It limits the number of people that further contract the disease helping mission points 1 to 3. You are in a vulnerable group and are likely to be hospitalized when you get it. Only around 50 or of the over 100 elderly in the Kirkland elder care facility are still there - the rest have either died or are hospitalized. Meanwhile - people are still having falls, crashes, accidents, babies, strokes and heart attacks. It is irresponsible in my opinion to be be fatalistic and pretend you will quickly join the universal collective mind simply by getting this disease and moving to the next plane. The likely death is asphyxiation by advanced pneumonia. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
