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.”
He's not wrong. How is this any better than liberals during the Mueller bs claiming that "it's the beginning of the end for Trump"? At some point, rhetoric needs to be backed with action and PUBLIC arrests need to happen, not behind-the-scenes stuff. We've been waiting and waiting and have been told that justice is coming, Durham is coming, or that a storm is coming, etc. Cool, now let's see it. Less talk, more action. Calling people on your side doomer shills is not helping with legitimate concerns.
