This is somewhat disturbing. I'll let people draw their own conclusions as to why the virus should not be allowed to spread for heard immunity, specifically based on the asymptomatic claims.

Chest CT Findings in Cases from the Cruise Ship “Diamond Princess” with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)

Of 104 cases, 76 (73%) were asymptomatic, 41 (54%) of which had lung opacities on CT. Other 28 (27%) cases were symptomatic, 22 (79%) of which had abnormal CT findings. Symptomatic cases showed lung opacities and airway abnormalities on CT more frequently than asymptomatic cases [lung opacity; 22 (79%) vs 41 (54%), airway abnormalities; 14 (50%) vs 15 (20%)]. Asymptomatic cases showed more GGO over consolidation (83%), while symptomatic cases more frequently showed consolidation over GGO (41%). The CT severity score was higher in symptomatic cases than asymptomatic cases, particularly in the lower lobes [symptomatic vs asymptomatic cases; right lower lobe: 2 ± 1 (0-4) vs 1 ± 1 (0-4); left lower lobe: 2 ± 1 (0-4) vs 1 ± 1 (0-3); total score: 7 ± 5 (1-17) vs 4 ± 2 (1-11)].

I think the big outcome from ‘herd immunity’ to this virus will be a major decrease in male fertility and T levels.

I think that’s the desired goal of this virus.

The mortality issues weren’t planned.

On another path, have you run across anything on what the viking CCR5 mutation might do with this particular disease’s outcome?

The best place to look for the cost of herd immunity would be the exposed healthcare workers.
It could be extrapolated to the general population from such a large sub-group.

Probably pretty high cost.
