A member asked:

Does it take longer for healthy people to show symptoms of covid-19 after they get infected with the novel coronavirus?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Covid-19: 80% of Covid-19 patients will be asymptomatic or have mild symptoms. Being healthy gives you a better chance of not having serious complications.
