NightMarishPie 06/08/20 11:52:05 PM #1:	Coronavirus patients without symptoms arent driving the spread of the virus, World Health Organization officials said Monday, casting doubt on concerns by some researchers that the disease could be difficult to contain due to asymptomatic infections. Some people, particularly young and otherwise healthy individuals, who are infected by the coronavirus never develop symptoms or only develop mild symptoms. Others might not develop symptoms until days after they were actually infected. Preliminary evidence from the earliest outbreaks indicated that the virus could spread from person-to-person contact, even if the carrier didnt have symptoms. But WHO officials now say that while asymptomatic spread can occur, it is not the main way its being transmitted. *From the data we have, it still seems to be rare that an asymptomatic person actually transmits onward to a secondary individual,* Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, head of WHOs emerging diseases and zoonosis unit, said at a news briefing from the United Nations agencys Geneva headquarters. Its very rare. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/06/08/asymptomatic-coronavirus-patients-arent-spreading-new-infections-who-says.html Good information if true, however, conflicting information once again from the WHO. --- "Who dares, wins" 3DS FC: 1521 3697 7272 <cite>NightMarishPie posted [p:940385252] in Asymptomat...

Squall28 06/09/20 10:42:45 AM #21:	For those who don't want to read through the whole article. Basically, they're basing this off contact tracing, but we still don't know for sure. So stay safe out there. More research and data are needed to truly answer the question of whether the coronavirus can spread widely through asymptomatic carriers, Van Kerkhove added. We have a number of reports from countries who are doing very detailed contact tracing, she said. Theyre following asymptomatic cases. Theyre following contacts. And theyre not finding secondary transmission onward.
