You say you would “probably have a 30-60% chance of signing up”. I assume that is the probability if you were to think about it more and research it more. Cryonics has been known as an option people procrastinate thinking about for a very long time (and from second-hand anecdotes, often until death). So if you’re going to think about it at any time, you might as well think about it now. I’m unsure about the expected preservation quality in a pandemic scenario, but regardless, you might as well use the coronavirus as a motivator to think about it now. The coronavirus has a probability of about 0.2% of killing someone your age, which is about the same amount of risk of normal living for 4 years at your age.
I’m personally signed up for cryonics, but I don’t necessarily think everyone my age should sign up for cryonics. I’ve helped multiple people decide whether to sign up, as well as going through the sign up process. I’m happy to help anyone on a donation-basis. You can email me at contact@matiroy.com.

Update: Alcor has written to its members, and it seems pretty well prepared for the pandemics; see my comment on this
