- People with no or mild symptoms can still spread the virus without knowing they are infected, which is a primary epidemiological reason for social isolation. — Coronavirus Pandemic Death Rate Math
- Asymptomatic and mildly symptomatic people largely do not appear in official confirmed-case statistics because they are not tested. — Coronavirus Pandemic Death Rate Math
- The unknown true number of infected people — including untested asymptomatic cases — is expected to be much larger than the confirmed tested-case count, making early death-rate calculations highly uncertain. — Coronavirus Pandemic Death Rate Math
- Children and healthy adults may have a low personal risk of severe illness but can still participate in transmission chains that expose higher-risk people. — Coronavirus Pandemic Death Rate Math
