i assume we re looking for asymptomatic people, they won't have quarantined themselves
Most covid19 infections are asymptomatic so unless you treat every day you can't know;)
Given 1/3 people infected are asymptomatic there’s a decent chance you have had it and didn’t know.

This kinda makes sense. A lot of people are asymptomatic carriers and there's not much you can do about it
You may have had it and spread it to others. Asymptomatic cases are very common.
They could've had asymptomatic covid and never knew about it?
Isn't a large proportion of cases asymptomatic?
Asymptomatic people can transmit - you can have a small minority be responsible for the majority of new cases
Did you factor in an asymptomatic rate?
