Boom. That's totally correct. Plus, these articles showing "every single worker" infected or 60% of carrier passengers/prisoners etc. don't do a good job of reporting how may actually sick people there are. Immunity is not all or nothing. It's a relative amount of resistant. Many (likely all) of these "naturally immune" folks (if they exist, and I think the evidence is pretty compelling personally) would get COVID if injected with a sufficient dose of purified virus. Many (likely all) would get COVID if an infected person sneezed into their face. Many (maybe? probably?) would be fine sharing a grocery store with a pre-symptomatic carrier. That's huge if true. Time will tell.
They're all tested positive, but 50% of them might have some form of immunity, and are fighting it off like that would a normal cold (or even with zero symptoms). The virus is still in their system, but their bodies are disposing of it without issues.
