80 percent of covid 19 victims are asymptomatic. They have very mild symptoms or even no symptoms at all. Yet they still may be able to transmit the virus to others. Especially high risk individuals.
Define Mild Symptoms?

“I think there is an understanding gap between what the medical professionals understand as mild (doesn’t require hospitalization) versus what the general public understands as mild ( a nasty cold that requires you to spend 2weeks on the couch.”
“The problem with the term mild is when used to talk about percentages it is a clinical term. And for that they have 3 categories which from highest to lowest are:
Critical - ICU
Severe - requires hospitalization but not ICU
Mild - anything not requiring hospitalization.
It is a category not a descriptor but can and is used as a descriptor so there is confusion without context. A flu that knocks you on your ass for a week but you can treat from home with rest and fluids is clinically mild but subjectively severe.”

“And I have 2 military bros in their early 30s, superb health, who were having mild symptoms.
Now both in ICU. One in a medically induced coma.”

Asymptomatic is not the same as mild symptoms. 55% are asymptomatic, 25% mild symptoms. Otherwise, you are correct, sir.
