The case of a man who contracted coronavirus from a carrier with no symptoms could be a “game changer,” according to an infectious disease expert.

has cited the case of a 33-year-old German man who became ill after meeting with a visiting Chinese business partner who had no coronavirus symptoms at the time.

“Maybe there’s a lot of unrecognized disease that has gone under the radar, that we haven’t found yet and that’s not sick enough to get people to hospital. Maybe this is more like a normal coronavirus and the more we look, the more we’re going to find.” “The fact that asymptomatic persons are potential sources of 2019-nCoV infection may warrant a reassessment of transmission dynamics of the current outbreak.”

Dr. Rau underscored that most cases of the disease are mild, which would make 2019-nCoV more like other typical coronaviruses like the seasonal flu.
