There's also a wide range of symptoms from 102F fever all the way to sp02 dropping below 80, with varying impacts on the health-care infrastructure.
At this point, conserving health infrastructure for normal incidence is as much of a problem (i.e even in the best case outcomes, there will be some cases of "stay at home, never catch the disease, but die from delayed response to a stroke").
If the asymptomatic people get immune, then this might drop the other multiplier of the R0.
Oof, optimism is hard to come by in these times.
