...at least at the time of the test. Not sure how many will stay that way.

Wow

This is one of the numbers I’ve been wanting to hear. How many cases are asymptotic, mildly symptomatic, moderate, and hospitalized...

Let’s see where this cohort stands a week from now to phibes point. 40-50% asymptomatic is the current majority thought but it could be higher.

Pre-symptomatic is different from asymptomatic.

It's hard to gather that data though.

Why can’t they retest that cohort in a week?
