That's by definition not "asymptomatic." It's extremely mild/unnoticeable symptoms, but it's still not asymptomatic

  The author is using the term in the way that most laymen use it. In this context, asymptomatic means not showing any noticeable symptoms and/or being completely unaware that one has contracted the virus. The author is not oblivious to this as he puts the word asymptomatic in quotes in the article.

    As used in medicine, a symptom is by definition something that the patient notices and can report. If they don't notice, it's not a symptom, it's a "sign". https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/341611 https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/341611
