That is something often overlooked. There are potentially long-lasting cardiovascular effects they are finding. We just won't know how serious until long down the road.
On a bright spot, one of the potential reasons for asymptomatic cases is previous exposure to one of the common cold coronaviruses. For those that didn't know, the common cold is not a single virus, but a number of different viruses that present in a similar way. A handful of those viruses are in the coronavirus family and it seems like exposure to these has caused T-cells in those individuals to recognize the COVID-19 virus. This could mean that somewhere between 20-50% of people in some areas may have a partial immunity.
