Phil asks:

If you are hosting COVID-19 but are asymptomatic, would you be able to do strenuous or fairly strenuous exercise without any problem?

Can anyone answer?

[Bored chemist]

Yes.
That's essentially what asymptomatic means.

Hi - This Q was posted for me by nudephil before I joined the forum. My point is that asymptotia could have limits i.e. you're asymptomatic up to a certain level of physical stress, and then any low level effect which the virus was having without you noticing would become apparent. If true, this could be a proxy for a test.

[Bored chemist]

No.
"Doctor; I used to be able to run up this hill in under three minutes, but now I can't"
is a symptom.
(If the doctor notices the difference, it's a sign, rather than a symptom- but nobody cares much about that)

Some asymptomatics actually have symptoms but don't notice them, happy hypoxic are just one example. Ground glass chest xrays of apparently 'asymptomatics' have shown up, and damage to other organs. If your incubating a dangerous virus, put your feet up and take it easy while you're in quarentine.

[Phil Sheppard]

Thanks for your reply. Just to be clear, I am not incubating the virus. I was thinking more about other runners I come across.

I am not incubating the virus.

And there's the problem. By the time you know it, you have already incubated and dispersed enough COVID-19 to infect a dozen other people, who also don't know it.
