Whoa.

We just had a case in Skagit County (50 miles north of Seattle) where a meeting of 60 people resulted in 30 confirmed infections from one asymptomatic person.

True...we probably missed some deaths before testing. But probably missed some cases where people recovered before testing also.

The only numbers...and numbers not being reported...can only look forward now. IMO...the death rate keeps falling and it ends up being around that of the flu...JMO.

Yes...this was more contagious? But we've/we're taking greater steps to reduce infection than we did with the flu IMO. I don't...and have never gotten a flu shot. And I know many that never do also. Usually only the old...or those with other complications get the flu vaccine IMO.

As Kiwi said: "Whoa". It made me start to wonder what percentage of people infected with Covid-19 stay asymptomatic throughout their infection and came across this article. Apparently roughly around 18%:
