Sorry if this has been discussed does anyone know if you can catch the SARSCoV-2 virus without getting the COVID-19 disease?

By comparing the DNA of siblings who are extremely long-lived, researchers believe they have found a region on chromosome 4 that may hold an important clue to understanding human longevity. According to the researchers, their finding is "highly suggestive" that somewhere in the hundreds of genes in that region of chromosome 4 is a gene or genes whose subtle modifications can give a person a better chance of living well beyond the average life expectancy.
The researchers believe that additional genetic analyses of nonagenarians and centenarians will lead to the identification of a few genes that confer longevity in humans. They also believe that their studies may turn up "good" versions of a multitude of genes that enable people to avoid age-associated diseases such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, cancer and Alzheimer's disease.

Maybe they were working on a virus that will enable us to live longer? And it escaped the lab? I don't know anything about Chromosome 4 but check this out:

All right, let's assume the authorities aren't telling us the truth.
People in China were falling over in the streets. You can't hide that. You wouldn't be able to hide that here.
Hospitals in Chinas were overwhelmed with sick people to the point of overflowing. You can't hide that, and you couldn't hide that here.
It's not happening here, not yet, and it *may* not. There is always the chance it could break out and that's why you here that the CDC, FEMA, US military are on alert with their pandemic plans in place, but whatever the conditions are in China or on the Diamond Princess that enabled it to spread so quickly and infect so many may not exist in quite the same way here very commonly.

GMO crops, gene splicing, blockchains... are all corruptions of Earth 'Stewardship' and screams out that Man's technology to mimic nature is destructive & will lead to desolation, the Bastardation of natural law

But they aren’t allowed in Hubei Province. Speaking for myself (YMMV) this is the smoking gun with fingerprints on it that CCP is hiding something more serious than just reporting wrong case numbers.

Given their brutal methods toward even their own, could they have created this deadly virus to be exactly what it is, decimating a part of their country, but buried in non-relevant genes of no consequence at this time is an "Easter egg," superhuman genes they want to quickly get established in their country. The corona virus is the vehicle to supremacy.
Many Chinese will die and have died from this strange disease, but left behind will be a far larger, altered segment of their society that will breed a country of superhumans better capable of conquering the rest of the world.
