Half of the 17% of passengers infected had no symptoms at all.

This has been on my mind a lot in the last few days.

The early spin was that you could spread the disease without having the disease.

Now it's becoming more apparent that many people have the disease, but it's so mild they hardly notice the symptoms.

Many times, I'll wake up with a slight sore throat or a slight case of the sniffles. Usually it's because the night before I went outside to do something (like put the trash bins out) without putting on a coat. During the course of the morning the symptoms disappear, and I don't think any more about it.

I'm wondering if a lot of people (like half, by my reading of this article) who get coronavirus show no more symptoms than that. They hardly notice it, and don't think anything of it.

Anybody who thinks this is a hoax should go volunteer in a hospital for the next two weeks.

As the testing around here (Eastern King County Washington, coronavirus central) really takes off, they are going to find that it was passed around for weeks before anyone realized something was up.

I'm 86, so the laser red dot is right between my eyes. Had to take Wifey to the hospital last week for an operation on her hand.

Yesterday a.m. woke up with a full throat and thought "Oh oh". Gone now, so who knows? Gotta go into town today, so it will have another crack at me. Think a lot of reporting is just hysteria-with-an-agenda, but will be liberal with some leftover hand sanitizer. :-)
