Except it’s transmitted by bodily fluids. Even if you don’t have symptoms, you are, ahem, “injecting” your fluids into another person.
With COVID, you are only being exposed to aerosol drops, which don’t occur without coughing or sneezing (symptoms).
Understood the transmission method is different, I’m simply highlighting that viruses can be spread without the host exhibiting symptoms.
Right.
I just think STDs are a poor example, since there is an exchange there.
Respiratory viruses are spread by the symptoms.
Again, yes and no. If you consider every cough, sneeze to be a symptom then yes, you’re right but all of those can occur as a result of irritants in the environment.
