One problem with this virus is that it’s believed that about 25% of those infected don’t display symptoms (or their symptoms are so mild they’re barely noticed), and think they’re healthy. That’s the reason for the new suggestion that everyone needs to wear a mask. Until there’s an at home test that everyone can use daily, there’s no way to tell who is truly ‘healthy’ and who isn’t.

Exactly.

Some don’t understand that a carrier with no symptoms can infect a person that will have a major life-threatening case of COVID-19.

That’s not unique to COVID19. I’m well aware of that. In fact it’s not unique to most viral infections. That’s a bogus argument for this. The fact of the matter is that the treatment of this infection is completely different from any previous viral infection of the past. THAT’S my point.
