I guess the question is whether the disease is mild enough that you're glad risking it to prevent a second case. I don't see any argument for rolling a roulette death wheel even if the odds are low. I'll take a roll on the non-death wheel instead.

Luckily for us Covid is nothing like the Black Plague which wiped out 1/3 of Europe. Instead, US population grew from last year during Covid.
But none of this, while an interesting side-tour, has anything to do with my original point which is that the current thought leadership in the US is pretending natural immunity doesn't exist.
That nurse on the front line working without a vaccine didn't have a choice to get Covid or not. That person bringing you food while you Doordashed and took pictures of yourself didn't get a choice. The person working the packing plants and stocking the shelves didn't get a choice.
They all got Covid while they were catering to the professional and managerial classes and now we are going to pretend they don't have immunity to the virus.
