Two Incentives to get the Corona virus

There could not be any other topic than the Corona virus for a blog post in March. Economy is taking a big hit due the preventive measures against Corona virus. Many people are being laid off. So far not that many news people being fired. In Finland social security compensates pretty well in case of losing your job but for example in southern Europe not that well. As offices are being closed you might have an option to work from home or use your holidays but many have to be afraid off losing their job permanently or temporarily. For people who are in big danger of losing their job have an incentive to get Corona virus because while being on sick leave you are legally much more safe from getting fired. Another incentive to get the Corona virus, is to get sick early before the health care system is overwhelmed. I bet it is easier to get treatment before the number of cases hits the peak.
