That doesn’t explain how or why asymptomatic people spread the virus.

"Can those people who are completely asymptomatic, who never develop any symptoms, transmit the infection? That's still kind of an open question," says Smith.

anything more recent than an article from a month ago?

+1. plus it's NPR which manyof us never listen to or read

I'm OP it sure does just the simple act of breathing spreads it if you are in an area long enough

Based on that article going back to work sounds crazy. Sustained 8 hours with the same people even social distancing and masks = not good

yeah that article is OLD
front page of many papers yesterday had 30-80% of infections transmitted by non-symptomatic carriers. So there's that.

Asymptomatic not asymptotic

Yes it does? It's saying that if a person feels fine (i.e. asymptomatic or pre-sympomatic) but is actually infected, by talking, breathing, singing, etc. they can spread the virus. Isn't that OPs question?

"Quantitative COVID-19 infectiousness estimate correlating with viral shedding and culturability suggests 68% pre-symptomatic transmissions": https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.05.07.20094789v1

There is actually not evidence that asymptomatic people can spread. The problem is that it’s impossible to differentiate between asymptomatic and presymptomatic (And that for some godforsaken reason no one can seem to understand the very obvious clinical difference which has been explained numerous times in this thread).

Asymptomatic is different than presymptomatic.

Is there evidence that people who NEVER developed symptoms have spread the virus?

OP again

I'll ask a plain question

You can have virus cells in your bloodstream and not show any symptoms correct

plenty of people have had covid-19 but never had any symptoms

so in that case yes it can be spread asymptomatically

Ahhh It’s true that there are people who never get symptoms, but that’s not what people mean when they talk about asymptomatic spread. They mean that said asymptomatic person can spread the virus to others. That hasn’t been proven. What has been shown is that presymptomatic people can spread it before they show symptoms.

You have to remember it's hard to determine this because a lot of it is based on individual reports. So you find someone and they test positive, and you have to ask them if they've had symptoms. They might have forgotten some, or maybe attributed achiness to soreness from the gym, or maybe they were taking Advil and missed having a headache, and so on... So you might not get this information until an actual study is done, which is just the priority at the moment, and we're just using real-life sampling to determine as much as we can.

I think the administration said masks weren’t necessary early in, partly Bc if they had said everyone get a mask, there would be a run on them and hoarding and there would be even less avaLiable for hospitals.

My daughter was asymptomatic and I think I got it from her. Her Dad is positive. I have been quarantined for over 6 weeks. Using delivery service and wiping down only.
