It is of great interest that 60% of those who tested positive were asymptomatic (at least at the time of the test).

But it would be even more interesting if they also said how many of the 4.8k crew aboard the ship did test positive
Even more interesting if it supports this piece of research that suggested that 44% of COVID infections took place whilst the transmitter was asymptomatic.

But if COVID is THAT infectious what is going on here in the Netherlands? OK. They don’t live in such large numbers in close quarters, but still. 3%?

Or are a large portion infected not producing antibodies? If so, what age groups/ sex etc?

It would be good if they did really close follow up study on this cohort as the conditions are quite defined.

Did they become symptomatic?

Will they do follow up anti body tests in 28 days time to find out how many produces antibodies? Age? Severity of COVID?
What mechanism is going on with asymptomatic, v mild symptomatic people if they shrug the virus off?

And what happens if they are exposed to the virus again without building antibodies?
I’ve just spotted this. One, a 41 year old officer died from CV earlier this week.

It also says there have been 650 confirmed cases Altho testing is not complete. c.15.5%

That would mean that 340 were asymptomatic. I wonder how many more have CV now, a few days later?
