...or say a month from now, or say three months from now?

Would it matter if it is a case that requires hospitalization?

Would it matter if you were in one of the hotspots when you got it - someplace like New York or Seattle or New Orleans, or even Italy?

What would play into your decision? Availability of care? Availability of protective equipment? Medical knowledge about treating it? Something else?

That's crazy!
That for 90% of those who get it.
You can get a virus and not even realize it ravaging your lungs doing permanent damage!

So asymptomatic corona patients have permanent lung damage?

If yes, state your source- a real source.
