How about the hypothesis that a majority of the infected persons think they have a cold or the flu and don’t even know that they have the corona virus and recover just fine?
I think the flu has about a 10% asymptomatic ratio. Who knows how many carriers this virus has.

That can happen.
If an outbreak isn’t too large I think most infected people can be found by contact tracing. Singapore just found two recovered people who were key transmitters in their outbreak. They used a new antibody test that can be used on people who have already recovered from the virus.
