How does this work with a significant percentage being asymptotic?

Precisely because the asymptomatic cases get caught by being traced from the symptomatic people in their contacts!

That's were contact tracing and testing are key. If when a person is identified as having COVID you can identify who they have had contact with and test them you can reduce or ideally totally prevent onward infections. Effectively breaking the chain.
