The problem is at least half the people who are asymptomatic or mild will never seek the test or by the time they do they have spread it. This is much more contagious than a cold or the flu. Its anecdotal but I have seen one case where a resident and the surgeon operated on one sick patient and they both got it. I have never seen that kind of thing. Two doctors infected at once., incredible.
Yes, but if the consequences of getting it are generally mild, sometimes to the point of not even being noticeable to victim, then why get hysterical?
Protect people who are likely to have more serious consequences - such as elderly or bed-ridden or otherwise ill people - and let the rest of life go one.
