[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it is inevitable that we all eventually get it, I at least don’t want to be an “early adopter.” There is still so much unknown about this disease. I prefer having the experiential knowledge and research about best treatments. For example, they now know positioning people prone is more helpful than ventilators. But they still don’t understand much about strokes in non-elderly adults or MIS-C in kids. No thanks. [/quote]

We know that even if you don't die, recovery can be very long and difficult.  We know that the disease can cause serious damage to the lungs and heart, among other things.  We don't know much about the medium- to long-term effects, including damage to the lungs, hearts, other organs, or the immune system.  The longer it's been around, the more we learn.  We also learn more about effective treatments and medications.  If I'm going to get it, I'd rather get it when doctors and scientists have had the opportunity to observe and learn how best to manage it, and how to minimize or cope with the longer-term effects.
