If many more people are infected with mild symptoms than currently thought, that could have large implications for how long economic shutdowns need to last.

Well it's currently thought as many as 50% don't develop symptoms for the duration of the infection (and likely aren't necessarily a big infection risk) based on studies in Italy. 90% only very mild symptoms.
