I have wondered for quite a while about this so maybe you can help. How does it spread without symptoms?
Like, I get that you start shedding the virus, but if you don't cough or sneeze and practice generally good hygene it should not spread, right?

People cough and sneeze all the time even if they are healthy. Also, when you talk, you expel droplets of saliva when you make sounds like "P" or "B" or "K". The virus travels in those droplets. They float through the air, someone else breathes them in, and voila.
1. Mucus. Cold weather can trigger a brief runny nose, which in turn is easy to wipe on sleeves, arms, or the back of the hand without much/any thought.
2. Saliva. Spittle from speaking is just about impossible to stop.
