The "Asymptomatic" Covid 19 Spreader.

[sevenOP]

Is there any proof that SARS-CoV-2 is being spread by asymptomatic people ?

[ToraToraTora]

yes, it must be.

[bobbinwales]

I don't know what data there is but it does seem accepted that some can have it without symtoms and pass it on. There less likely to cough and sneeze on people but still breathe and emit vapors/ spray and can pass it on by touching though less often. Seems obvious to me. Do you have doubts then?

[THECORBYLOON]

Not sure that, "yes, it must be" counts as acceptable proof...

[bobbinwales]

Agree in a way thecorbyloon but I bet there is no scientific evidence it can't be passed on by asymptomatic carriers. Hopefully theprof or sqad or someone will know. Buenchivo will find it

[Sqad]

Yes...in the track and trace of a PCR positive client, the contacts also tested positive were and remained symptoms free.

[ToraToraTora]

the virus spreads mostly by breath, that's why we have the mask fiasco. Asymptomatic still have the virus and they breath, end of.

[Sqad]

Sorry,my answer didn't answer your question.

It is a good question to which I don't have the answer.

[bobbinwales]

Most people I know who've had it don't know anyone who was obviously ill who gave it them.

//There less likely to cough and sneeze on people..//

I've got to ask, bob, because you keep mentioning it: where is it you go where you see people continually coughing and sneezing over others? You mention it very frequently so you must see a lot of it.

[sevenOP]

Sqad: "Yes...in the track and trace of a PCR positive client, the contacts also tested positive were and remained symptoms free."

That is not proof.

[bobbinwales]

I'll ignore that pointless question from the judge.
Will attach old article shortly

[Sqad]

seven ....indeed it isn't and I have acknowledged that point.

[bobbinwales]

Judge has never heard that coughs and sneezes spread diseases.

Typhoid Mary?

[ToraToraTora]

"That is not proof." - they breath out. I assume you accept that they breath out?? Billions of asymptomatic infectees breathing out must infect others, end of.

[New Judge]

//I'll ignore that pointless question from the judge.//

That's a shame, bob. I asked because you mention it frequently and it is obviously a concern to you. It seems particularly relevant to this question. I cannot remember anybody coughing or sneezing over me either since the pandemic began or before, apart from perhaps the odd baby or toddler who knew no better (and I steer well clear of them as far as possible anyway). Am I alone in this experience?

Yes he has. And it seems all the people I meet or mix with have as well. I just wonder why you mention it so often.

[bobbinwales]

Judge I'd quit mate if your saying coughs and sneezes don't happen
