One thing I want to know is how long latent asymptomatic diseases can pass between members of a house. i.e. say 5 people all started quarantining last month, and one person had a very mild illness they barely noticed. Say the illness normally gets “processed” in about a week. Can that illness pass one by one through various people in the house, such that 5 weeks later one person gets it, and has a stronger reaction than the others?
Definitely possible, though of course it takes a few probability hits for specificity (in this case, odds of getting it the last day each time is about 1⁄7, and the probability of no concurrent disease is around 1/4!, so something like 1e-4.5 as likely as a “typical” spread throughout the house)
