That doesn’t explain how or why asymptomatic people spread the virus. [/quote]

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[/quote]

Asymptomatic is different than presymptomatic.

Is there evidence that people who NEVER developed symptoms have spread the virus? [/quote]

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. [/quote]
