That is a difficult question to answer for the general American population because we specifically test symptomatic people.
I work for an organization that requires asymptomatic testing for travel, their testing is lumped in with general testing with that and post exposure testing, we see about 10 to 15 percent asymptomatic positives.
I have seen studies that indicate 40 percent of cases are asymptomatic but if there is no test, it doesn’t get reported as a positive.
Thanks for your reply. I have been confused since the beginning. Once exposed, everyone runs out and gets tested (me included), whether we have symptoms or not. If that test is SARS-COV2 (virus) positive, the person is counted as “Covid” (disease) positive. However, everyone who tests positive for HIV is not counted as having AIDS. I suppose strict precautions after a positive test, in either case, are the same, and that is what matters. Just wondering if the Positive numbers might be inflated. Thanks again for replying.
