Are you unconcerned about asymptomatic transmission? As I understand it, a big reason why there's a pandemic is that you might not necessarily know whether you're infectious.

Asymptomatic individuals are indeed less infectious on an individual basis, but I know of at least one study [1] which purports to show a lot of transmission from asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic people.
