“... upwards of 80% of people are asymptomatic...”
Isn’t that as you said a “sweeping comment”?
It illustrates my point.... we do not know. We have lots and lots of numbers all over the place, but what do they really mean and how accurate are they when extrapolated onto a population where only 1% have been tested? What if it is 10% or 90% who are asymptomatic?
That one number changes everything and we do not know.
