So much wishful thinking, getting people killed.

The calculation is when. Smart bet is of course to delay until therapies are most advanced.
But is there also a genetic lottery at play? Given my geriatric co-morbidity riddled relatives and clients who’ve cruised thru it mostly if not entirely asymptomatic, while other random younger people have done badly, it’s kind of like cancer. Good luck with your cards.
And if you’re fat and diabetic? Get your house in order. That’s a rectifiable co-morbidity.
(I’ve a train wreck - diabetes, high blood pressure, fat - relative nearing 90 who just waltzed thru it and never even knew it.)
