I completely agree.
What bothers me the most though is that if these guys can delude themselves so much in pursuit of the virus....how easy is it for them to flip the coin and silently infect others once they have become positive? A new thril?
How easy would it be for them to decide that they were doing people a favor by making them sick dishonestly?
As fucked up as it is to want something like this for yourself, its even worse doing to others without telling them.
