#3That sounds like the perfect way for a disease to spread. Do nothing to most.

#4In case this thread doesn’t gain momentum, some more (potentially interesting) discussion on Reddit [1].
Particularly this post [2]:
> I wonder if they plan to follow up and monitor... From the Diamond Princess they initially found 50% of people had no symptoms. However upon following them over the course of weeks that dropped down to about 18%. Due to the long incubation period it can take some time to determine if someone is truly asymptomatic or just not symptomatic yet.

#6not super surprising - plenty of other diseases are similar.
Even serious things like HIV are contagious for a long time while being completely asymptomatic.

#7Asymptomatic for the entire duration of infection? That sounds bad for reducing R but good for the health of the individual.

If you've ever played Plague, Inc. you will find eerie similarities.

#9We've known this for a while. Everyone will get it. You might have it now. Nothing will happen. Still, quarantine for a while because you'll give it to an older person or kid. This isn't about a 20-something year old getting sick. Let your anti-bodies make yourself non-contagious. We are all kindergartens and this is chickenpox basically.

The best evolutionary strategy for a virus is to not cause any disease at all.
