The symptoms all experts are telling you to look out for when it comes to the Coronavirus are coughing, getting a fever, and shortness of breath.
However Dr. Lynne Humphrey says it's likely people are going about their daily routines not showing any symptoms, but are still carrying the Coronavirus.
"That particular concern is very real, especially for younger, healthier folks. Again, you may be carrying the virus even though you're not feeling sick," said Dr. Humphrey, M.D. at Northeast Family Medicine Center at St. Joseph's Hospital Health Center.
Claus Wilke at the University of Texas Austin has studied the evolution of viruses for 20 years.
He says there are two ways of being asymptomatic. First, many people become infectious a few days before they develop symptoms, spreading the virus before they know they're ill.
"Second, some people, in particular young adults and children, will never develop any obvious symptoms, or they develop symptoms that are so light that they don't think about it. Maybe they feel a bit under the weather, they have a bit of a cough or a sore throat," said Wilke.
That's why doctors say social distancing is incredibly important for everyone, whether or not you're feeling sick.
"When more testing becomes available, we would test everybody that we can, but it's okay to stay home if you have mild flu-like symptoms," said Dr. Humphrey.
Although a big challenge for the medical field is the shortage of tests, Dr. Humphrey says more tests will be coming.
Wilke thinks more testing needs to be done as soon as possible.
"We are absolutely not testing enough. We should be testing everybody who exhibits symptoms, everybody who has come into contact with somebody who has tested positive or who exhibits symptoms, and then probably everybody else who is concerned about having contracted the virus," said Wilke.
