The article doesn't make any distinction between people who are infected and will never express symptoms and people who are within the incubation period before symptoms onset. Or rather, it seems to only consider the former. I believe pre-symptom infections are much less rare.
Besides, it was well known that PCR tests were not correlated with infectiousness. Michael Mina, an infectious disease expert, has been advocating that rapid antigen tests should rather be used to identify infectiousness.
