Sigh... just more misinterpretation by journalists without scientific training. Headline is wrong. RNA was detected for 17 days, not live coronavirus. You can detect nucleic acids from Neanderthal bones too. Anyway it's nice the CDC provides support for the 50% asymptomatic rate

I think you are too optimistic, it is not clear if there was live virus (more research is needed). [Also, the same text says that only 18% of the infected passengers are expected be asymptomatic over the course of the entire infection.]

Thanks for the correction on the eventual asymptomatic rate, which I see is further down the report. The population skews old and we know kids are more often asymptomatic so we need to adjust the percentages for age to predict the general US population asymptomatic rate.

Yes! Iceland currently gives hope that the asymptomatic rate is indeed quite high. Stay strong, Icelanders! (Although, they are healthier than Americans, which tend to have poor nutrition.)
