I didn't mean acquire and wander around infecting people, rather acquire and sit around until it's over. HN obviously interpreted it the other way.


It's thought that 20-80% are asymptomatic, so the plan to acquire and sit around won't work for a very large number of people.

Plus they still have a ~0.1-0.5% rate of fatal complications.

Wide error bars on these, but all numbers I've seen reported from studies.


"I" isn't a very large number of people.


You said:

> [people who might be more vulnerable] should isolate.

and now you appear to be saying:

> [they should] acquire [the virus] and sit around until it's over

That's incredibly bad advice. Now, notice that I'm not going in too hard on you because I'm hoping I've misunderstood what you're saying, but can you clarify it to avoid such confusion, please?
