We'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.
I feel this is a trillion dollar mistake, testing more aggressively like South Korea means that you don't have to deploy the army and quarantine people. I had mild symptoms and they refused to test me, what am I to do? Self quarantine without a notice and hence without pay? I could work from home, but most can't so they will just go to work as normal and spread it. And now it is all over the world so only drastic measures will help.
That sounds like the perfect way for a disease to spread. Do nothing to most.
In 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…

I don't want to spread misinformation here, but u thought I had read several times that children are almost immune from symptoms but can still carry it.
How reputable is this paper?
Asymptomatic for the entire duration of infection? That sounds bad for reducing R but good for the health of the individual.

I live in Hungary, where health care workers don't get (enough) protective wear, the health care system is neglected since decades, and government is not willing to communicate clearly. Also, most of the people who should be tested are not tested, because of the "protocol".
I fear this, and the rate of asymptomatic cases will lead to a deadly mixture here.

This is very different than Spanish Flu and even the regular flu.
