I think people just want to feel human and regain some sense of normalcy in the face of a deadly virus with a 99.9% survival rate.
Let’s only concern ourselves with survival rate, because the symptoms are no big deal.

that's still like 350,000 deaths in the US, which is almost as many people as are killed by police each year.

I'd rather not find out. There's also the blood clots.

Coronavirus spread by asymptomatic people 'appears to be rare,' WHO official says

The spread of Covid-19 by someone who is not showing symptoms appears to be rare, Maria Van Kerkhove, the World Health Organization's technical lead for coronavirus response and head of the emerging diseases and zoonoses unit, said during a media briefing in Geneva on Monday.

"From the data we have, it still seems to be rare that an asymptomatic person actually transmits onward to a secondary individual," Van Kerkhove said on Monday.
"We have a number of reports from countries who are doing very detailed contact tracing. They're following asymptomatic cases, they're following contacts and they're not finding secondary transmission onward. It is very rare -- and much of that is not published in the literature," she said. "We are constantly looking at this data and we're trying to get more information from countries to truly answer this question. It still appears to be rare that an asymptomatic individual actually transmits onward."

That's asymptomatic, not pre-symptomatic.

Asymptomatic and presymptomatic are two different things. Presymptomatic people are contagious last I checked.
