I only scanned quickly through the full article and didn't find what I was looking for. If this is an accurate analysis then for me the biggest implication is the inference it has on the mechanism of infection. If 59% of infections are due to people who have no symptoms or have not yet developed symptoms then they are by definition not obviously ill i.e. not coughing. If these people are able to spread the infection without coughing then it goes a long way to explain just how contagious this virus really is.
