I mean. Data coming out of other countries that are doing a lot of testing (along with some of the cruise ship data) does suggest, at this moment, that there are a reasonable number of asymptomatic cases. Potentially somewhere on the order of ~15% or so. There are also rumblings that the infection-fatality ratio (which is nearly impossible to calculate at the beginning of a pandemic) may end up being lower than first thought. Which is not bad news, but…

NONE of these things changes the impact of all of these cases hitting at once and overwhelming our health care system, nor do they minimize the impact on those who do develop symptoms. A good leader would understand these things and continue to emphasize the need for social distancing, slowing the rate of infection, and doing everything possible to enable our healthcare systems to survive the surge.

Instead …well. Yes.
