[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Once again, DCUM babbling without knowledge.  It's unclear if asymptomatic carriers (vs pre-symptomatic) can even transmit.

"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.

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.[/quote]

Once more for the thousandth time - presymptomatic (got sick later) VS asymptomatic (never got sick).

Like basically every contagious illness (cold / stomach flu / etc), COVID is very contagious right before the person feels sick.

It has not been confirmed that asymptomatic people can spread.[/quote]

I think there's also confusion around truly asymptomatic and I have a sore throat and headache and cough a few times a day but I'm pretty sure that's allergies.

Of course, for a lot of people it really IS allergies, so there's no way to tell without testing.[/quote]
