>The descriptions range from "highly infections, potentially causes strokes in otherwise young healthy people" to "highly infectious, young people often display no symptoms at all".
Both those things can be true at the same time.
I saw one German doctor (from Charité Berlin I think?) who did over 100 autopsies on TV saying in all cases he had on his table there were preexisting conditions (and the older the more likely you have one or more of those). But he also said that the young and "healthy" people he looked at also had preexisting conditions that usually were never diagnosed before.
This reminded me of a buddy in school, who went for the routine mandatory checkup before the mandatory military service (since been abandoned), a jock-type who seriously considered joining up voluntarily to become a jet fighter pilot, and ended up learning he only had one kidney since birth. Something he never knew or suspected and never had any issue with because he was otherwise young and healthy, but which could come back to bite him when he gets old or when he contracts some serious disease (like this one maybe).

In some sense that is pretty high compared to the baseline, but being equal to 10 years of driving isn't apocalyptic.
