You have it in reverse--the valuable tests are the positive results in asymptomatic people. You feel fine, but you get a positive result. So you stay home instead of unknowingly passing it on two others, who themselves pass it on to four others, who pass it on to eight others...

Hopefully this catches the guy who was going to leave it on the doorknob for you
