I would say at best this is currently unclear, so no it is'nt "99% safe" (depending on your definition of safe) because:

1. It's possible the strains could mutate so they are different enough for the immune system to not respond (assuming you build immunity).

2. As far as i know the scientific community has not established exactly what the situation is with immunity. There are reports of reinfection. This could also possibly be due to testing issues.

3. Right now it's not obvious how long you are contagious for.

I wish I could remember the source, but degree of exposure matters. I suppose you could explain this as "flattening the curve" writ small, as the bodies defenses don't have time to build up. This is why healthcare workers can get sicker than ordinary folks, because they are swimming in virus.

Let say someone is in 0.2% survival group and has pretty good immune system.

also tried of uncertainty.

curious what happens if that person go to corona virus testing wait line and hug some people :)). Get the virus and hope to develop the immunity.

How logical and scientific is this idea?
