[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.

That refers to asymptomatic people who never develop symptoms at all. Different from presymptomatic - those who are asymptomatic now but go on to show symptoms later. The question is whether the former can transmit. I don’t think there’s any question about the latter. [/quote]

OP here yeah if you eventually show symptoms of course you can spread it but for those that never show symptoms what then.  Assume they can still spread through touch since the virus is "in them" they just aren't expressing any outwards signs that they have it hence why face masks are important.[/quote]
