In other words we don’t really know, but I’m betting the first point is probably more true. There are probably a lot more people who have caught this and been asymptomatic than we think. Only antibody testing will confirm that and it’s still probably months away from deployment and having statistically relevant sample sizes.
There are also some studies coming out (from cruise ship patients) that show over half of asymptomatic cases had abnormal lung opacities visible on CT scans. Now, there is no causation there....but seems improbable that that many people on a given cruise would coincidentally have lung issues. There is a lot we don't know.....
