Middle-aged healthy males: how likely is it they would have no symptoms of a novel coronavirus infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
About 67% estimate: The disease affects about 33 % of people in each of the age ranges 25-40, 40-55, 55-65, 70 and over. These people usually also have hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, COPD, immune disorders. The are considered high risk. Asymptomatic individuals are not known. Need 10 minute contact with infected person. Healthy, not symptomatic, not caring for infected. I would estimate 100-33 %= 67%
