Send us a photo and we will let you know whether you are wearing a mask.

You've misread it. It actually says the majority of transmission is from individuals not showing symptoms.

It actually states that asymptomatic cases DO NOT drive the transmission quite clearly. Your reading with rose tinted spectacles on.

 

One for the cult, cases are currently rising in SE Asia with Vietnam and S Korea topping the charts, SK has strict lockdowns, masking (Asian people have always worn masks) and 70% vaccination status, how can this possible?

I don't really care what you believe, asymptomatic transmission is and always has been absolute rubbish, put out to scare people into conformity (unfortunately its worked).

Seriously, if you don’t know about asymptomatic transmission, your knowledge of virology is about 75 years out of date.

 

At this point, it is probably ok to remind everyone that you didn’t know anything about bursitis a couple of weeks ago. So you aren’t exactly a medical expert.

I've not read the whole thing due to time but this was the CDC one:

 

https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/27/4/20-4576_article

From the link.

 

""In this cluster of COVID-19 cases, little to no transmission occurred from asymptomatic case-patients. Presymptomatic transmission was more frequent than symptomatic transmission."

 

Asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic are pretty much one and the same - ie people not displaying symptoms of covid.

You said 'asymptomatic transmission', that is transmission from people who do not have symptoms including presymptomatic individuals.

They are not pretty much the same, 4 days before the virus kicks in has been the yardstick since day one, asymptomatic show no symptoms at all, nice try though.

Wrong. I'll say it again the threat of asymptomatic transmission is absolutely minimal.

So can you catch covid from people not displaying symptoms in the days when they aren't showing symptoms?

That depends where you are Padders.

 

In a supermarket or on public transport it’s a big yes. I’ve posted some research about it up there, in between the shouting.

 

If you are on a Covid ward, don’t bother. Get a properly fitting mask.

 

Padder’s bar will have to make their own decision.

Thats never been in doubt, its not asymptomatic though, chicken pox etc spreads in the same way, you don't get people without developing any later CP symptoms passing it on.

 

I'll await the apologies.

OK - we'll just use pre-symptomatic in future to describe people with the virus not displaying symptoms.

 

Happy?
