That's the biggest reason I'm not convinced that the asymptomatic numbers are huge, or at least not huge enough to make that much of a difference. Herd immunity requires like 60-80% of people being immune, and even if you assume there are 10 times as many people immune as our current number of known cases, that's still only around 2% of the U.S. population right now.
