You know that study about 70% of people choosing to get a shock rather than just sit for 20 minutes? I'd make the same choice.
Get the shock over with. It will be an experience. I don't blindly avoid pain. I can then do whatever I want, including meditate.

Would you willingly get infected with cv19 so you can have the immunity passport and get on with your life?
50% chance of a 5-6 day shock within 4-14 days with a small chance of ending up on a ventilator (or needing one) and a smaller chance of dying.
I don’t think I would.

Now, given current circumstances, no.
~5 weeks ago, with dedicated treatment space, yes.
FWIW that's more about not being a vector than anything else.
I think we'll all get it eventually. Just circumstances.

This question is also pretty selfish -- getting COVID-19 affects other people. Going to the hospital is bad, not just because you are in the hospital, but that's more pressure on the system. But, accepting selfishness, limit the number of dice rolls.
The smaller chance of dying is only smaller insofar as spare ventilators are available. If they aren't, then ethically speaking a young healthy person who deliberately infected themselves can go to the back of the line, and needing one becomes dying.
