People really need to stop spreading misinformation.

The decision isn't to either get it now or not at all. The decision if you'd like to get it now or later.

If you decide to get it now, you probably have a job. If you decide to get it later, you quite possibly don't.

And if everyone gets it now the health system collapses, 15% of the infected die and anyone who needs a hospital for any life-saving reason also dies.

getting it later there's also a greater chance that an anti-viral treatment may become available.
