Yes. The Navy experience (60%+ asymptomatic) and others (almost completely asymptomatic homeless shelter with large percentage positive tests) indicate we have been given hugely false or misleading stats about this virus.
Once we can beat proper stats out of the government with large-scale testing, it may become clear that we are already well on our way to herd immunity, and that the vast majority of healthy people without serious secondary issues will be fine (perhaps unhappy and hurting, but will survive).
Of course, encourage any fearful or ill people to continue segregation.
But, this segregation of otherwise healthy low risk population just has to stop. It is nuts.
