Therein lies the problem! No one knows how many "typhoid Mary's" are and will be running amok through the cities all over the US as people get released out of their homes.
In an Ohio prison:
In practically a worst-case situation where social distancing is minimal, around 80% of the inmates tested positive and yet the majority do not exhibit symptoms. Similar results (but not 80%) have been reported where non-symptomatic people have been randomly tested like in NY.
Mass coronavirus testing in Ohio prisons shows large asymptomatic infection rate
It's definitely the "HIDDEN ENEMY" we have to worry about it spreading from now not those who are already obviously sick.
