1/ In 1918 you were better off getting infected by the less lethal spring version of the influenza virus. Some time in summer it became way more lethal. However, if you can avoid the Wuhan coronavirus covid19 for several months then drugs or vaccines might become available.

2/ Lots of drugs are being tried or at least getting lab screened against the virus. Also, RNA and DNA vaccines can be developed much more rapidly than older generations of vaccines. So delayed exposure reduces your risk of dying once infected and risk of infection once eposed.

3/ If you are pretty motivated to avoid infection for as long as necessary your biggest problem is that most humans are nowhere near as motivated as you are. If you need to keep showing up at work every day then these less vigilant other humans are your biggest risk.
