System is overwhelmed, can't really blame anyone since maintaining such, ready to spring, system would cost a lot of money. In an ideal world a drone would come and take your temp and then drop food supplies etc etc.

But I'm wondering...if we all are going to get infected (40-80%) wouldn't it better to choose the time? Early on you get all the benefits, 3 weeks later you are lucky to have someone measure your temp. Of course you might escape it entirely or new knowledge might be gained in weeks ahead, but the downside is terrible https://news.sky.com/story/coronavirus-italian-doctor-says-f...



Three weeks later you will most likely still be in ICU if you have a severe case. It is better to catch it six or twelve months later when the first peak is over and treatment options may be better.


Been thinking this since January. Did not have the guts to do it.
