That's literally how herd immunity works. People with no or mild symptoms go out and spread the virus, people with heavy symptoms stay home. Virus is encouraged evolutionarily to be as non-symptomatic as possible.
Unfortunately we have totally broken this with our lockdown strategy, which has meant that heavily symptomatic people are allowed out to get medical treatment and spread the virus in clinic and hospitals, whilst everyone else is forced to stay home.
- nickthemagicman 6y agoPeople with heavy symptoms don't infect other people with a virus that gives heavy symptoms. The exact same virus can give one person heavy symptoms and another person light symptoms. The immune system plays a bigger part than the strain of virus.
