[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“The baseline assumptions for the model were that peak infectiousness occurred at the median of symptom onset and that 30% of individuals with infection never develop symptoms and are 75% as infectious as those who do develop symptoms. Combined, these baseline assumptions imply that persons with infection who never develop symptoms may account for approximately 24% of all transmission. In this base case, 59% of all transmission came from asymptomatic transmission, comprising 35% from presymptomatic individuals and 24% from individuals who never develop symptoms. Under a broad range of values for each of these assumptions, at least 50% of new SARS-CoV-2 infections was estimated to have originated from exposure to individuals with infection but without symptoms.”

wow. I wonder what would happen if everyone wore masks in public and indoors - all those asymptomatically ill people would be wearing masks and not transmitting the 50 %+ cases that there are responsible for spreading.  Can yoh imagine if we had 50 % fewer cases? [/quote]
