Now that the data is reliable and testing has become widespread, the asymptomatic transmission feature has become the focal point and what makes this so dangerous.

In the county I live, the cluster area where half the cases have spread is a retirement-like center. They have tested every resident, approximately 33 tested negative, 35 are positive with mild to severe symptoms and 54 positive but asymptomatic. These are the most vulnerable people to the disease, the elderly. It’s killed probably 10-15 of the residents.

I guess my biggest question is of the 54 asymptomatic, how many will remain that way and how many will eventually show will get sick, meaning that the test caught them at the presymptomatic phase? The numbers of that split, how does it compare to other age groups? That people who stay asymptomatic throughout the run of the disease, how long does it stay in them versus how long are they transmissible carriers? And probably the most important, what are the quality of a person who’s body who stays asymptomatic, never to develop the sickness...why are they immune, is it just there body’s immune system is stronger, what makes it stronger?
