>extremely long incubation periods with airborne transmission without symptoms

2 out of the 3 things in this sentence are not true. Incubation period is not extremely long, it's quite a normal length of time for a respiratory virus. There has been no airborne transmission. And I would say the jury is out on asymptomatic transmission.

There has been research done showing the virus load is the same between asymptomatic and symptomatic carriers.
