Yes, very key observation, severity seems linked to total viral load as discussed by the author here:

Makes me wonder if the asymptomatic people are those who encountered a viral load too small to infect them?
Also clear to me it's essential to establish a minimum air exchange rate for closed interior spaces such as Rec Centers, restaurants, theaters, etc. OSHA has minimum air exchange guidelines for "sick building syndrome" that would be a good place to start.
