That assumes you can't get it twice, which we don't know yet. It also assumes there are no long-term effects, and there are already reports of lung fibrosis. You're better off delaying it as long as possible. Work from home if you can, and try to avoid non-essential travel while people work on better treatments.

I'm assuming you can get it twice, based on recent news[1], that's why I said:

> If it wasn't possible to be reinfected

According to this podcast featuring a Harvard epidemiologist, someone can get it twice: https://pca.st//episode/ca05539a-1c01-4862-9e86-8882e5e42178

Short term reinfection is extremely unlikely. Natural immunity 1-3 years. https://twitter.com/florian_krammer/status/12333387467890360...

Long duration shedding even after recovery is a more likely explanation than than re-infection. But even that's not good news if someone is contagious after they've recovered. https://twitter.com/mlipsitch/status/1231662145156374528
