Coronavirus patients without symptoms aren’t 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.
Preliminary evidence from the earliest outbreaks indicated that the virus could spread from person-to-person contact, even if the carrier never develops symptoms. But WHO officials now say that while asymptomatic spread can occur, it is not the main way it’s 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 WHO’s emerging diseases and zoonosis unit, said at a news briefing from the United Nations agency’s Geneva headquarters. “It’s very rare.”
Right this is why the mask narrative has to be resisted or else more people buy into the concept that healthy people have to be quarantined and locked down.
If the masked people see people without masks and normal they will start to question why should they mask up if they too are healthy.
yep.. and this is why spectators were banned from the Olympics at the last minute. Japan has the LOWEST vax rate of any developed nation.
They would have filled the stands with the unvaxed and NO OUTBREAKS would have happened as a result of the Games.
Narrative Destroyed.
