Thanks, I actually didn't realize the number drifted so much over time. Good to know! I'm curious how many of them were actually seriously afflicted vs. a stuffy nose. I'd argue almost 20% actually asymptomatic is still huge in context.

Especially as we know the disease affects these demographics up to 100X more than the young.

For instance consider: "Emerging evidence suggests many more people are infected than tested. In Vo Italy, at the time the first symptomatic case was diagnosed, about 3%, had already been infected – most were completely asymptomatic." [1]

> a stuffy nose.

Not a covid-19 symptom.

EDIT: I'm wrong, sorry. Thank you to kgwgk for the correction.
