https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-usa-military-sympt/coronavirus-clue-most-cases-aboard-u-s-aircraft-carrier-are-symptom-free-idUSKCN21Y2GBThe Navys testing of the entire 4,800-member crew of the aircraft carrier - which is about 94% complete - was an extraordinary move in a headline-grabbing case that has already led to the firing of the carriers captain and the resignation of the Navys top civilian official.
Roughly 60 percent of the over 600 sailors who tested positive so far have not shown symptoms of COVID-19, the potentially lethal respiratory disease caused by the coronavirus, the Navy says. The service did not speculate about how many might later develop symptoms or remain asymptomatic.

The article seems to be making this positive, but that sounds like horrible news to me.

If higher ups had listened to Captain Crozier, it is quite likely those suffering would be much lower! 🤬
Guessing dump admin was going for 100% infection rate to please putin and further weaken our country!

Should have learned from the cruise industry.
We knew what happened on Cruise ships.
Why didn't the Navy and government prepare?

Exactly the demographic you would expect to have the best outcomes and the highest asymptomatic rate.
The general population's asymptomatic rate will be significantly lower.
