Serious question. If you are asymptomatic how do you spread this?
You aren't coughing or sneezing. |
| Licking someone’s nose. |
|
Singing
Yelling Laughing |
| Wiping nose/mouth then touching surfaces. |
| You can cough if you inhale an irritant from the air. Same with sneezing. |
|
Breathing.
|
|
Talking
Breathing Singing Sharing air for extended periods HVAC flow of asymptomatic/presymptomatic person’s virus particles |

Once again, DCUM babbling without knowledge. It's unclear if asymptomatic carriers (vs pre-symptomatic) can even transmit.
https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2020/04/13/831883560/can-a-coronavirus-patient-who-isnt-showing-symptoms-infect-others "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. |
This is why you should let kids go to school. They can be asymptomatic carrier and bring it home to their parents/grandparents. You think virus can only transmit thru coughing or sneezing? |
How dare you post actual expert info, PP. We only like end of the world fearmongering here! |
anything more recent than an article from a month ago? |
There are lots of things we don't know. Hopefully it turns out that asymptomatic people don't transmit, but other viruses are transmitted asymptomatically and presymptomatically, so it makes sense to take precautions. We do know that the super spreader at the choir practice in WA was not reporting symptoms at that time. |
So, what is your point? Yes or no? or don't know?? |
There is a lot evidence that they can transmit without symptoms- that's the entire problem with this disease. Otherwise we could just isolate people with fevers and coughs and be done with it. https://health.clevelandclinic.org/studies-show-carriers-with-mild-or-no-symptoms-are-key-part-of-covid-19-spread/ https://www.propublica.org/article/what-we-need-to-understand-about-asymptomatic-carriers-if-were-going-to-beat-coronavirus |
