With any new disease, the best strategy is to delay getting Covid as long as possible.
First of all, there are constant improvements in how to treat the disease, including drug therapies and vaccines.
Secondly, we are still learning about the disease, and it could end up being better or worse then initially feared. If it's less virulent, then that's fine, no big deal. If it is worse (and with Covid-19, there seem to be increasing long-term issues), then by delaying you can more accurately assess the risk.
I had several friends say they wanted to get Covid in the spring, as it was just a bad flu. That was a bad take then, and looking worse now.
