Asymptomatic and presymptomatic people transmit most COVID-19 infections: Study

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Silent transmission of the novel coronavirus could account for more than half of infections, according to one new mathematical model by U.S. and Canadian researchers.

The researchers utilized data on asymptomatic and presymptomatic transmission from two different epidemiological studies and estimated that more than 50% of infections were attributable to people not exhibiting symptoms.

Since the study is based on a mathematical model, the 50% finding is an estimation based on probabilities and approximations, rather than a precise figure.

The findings were published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America.

But then president 'Shit for Brains' thinks if we don't test it'll all disappear.

2. Makes sense. How many people are out

4. +1

Makes perfect sense.
I got bronchitis from something around Christmas time.
For 3 days, I felt like that semi you mentioned was parked on me!
The ONLY place I went for 6 days was to the doctor, and to the drug store on the way home.
Pretty sure that the other 142 hours, I wasn't spreading anything.
Not from the rec room couch.

3. And contact tracing is pitifully inadequate in most places.
