This is a ridiculous claim
Any place that has done random sampling is reporting a very low asymptomatic rate
- mrighele 7y agoNot ridiculous. After the first town in north east Italy was put in quarantine (Vo Euganeo) the local governor decided to test the whole town for Coronavirus (a few thousand people). More than half of the infected people where without symptoms.

It should be obvious, when you have a virus with an infection rate doubling X number of days and it takes X or more days to start showing symptoms, if you do a random sample, 50% will be asymptomatic. That does NOT mean that they will continue to be asymptomatic
- Erikun 7y ago70% would certainly seem to be too high. Data from the Diamond Princess showed 17.9% of infected persons never developed symptoms. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6912e3.htm https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6912e3.htm
