So much garbage is being spread based on the misread of what WHO meant regarding dangers of COVID infection from asymptomatic

1. This involves the SMALL number of those who never show symptoms. This is NOT the presymptomatic, who are infected & have not yet BEGUN to show.../1
...symptoms. IOW, if you’d test positive but never show symptoms (or show extremely mild symptoms) this research pertains to you. If you’re infected & will show first symptoms in 14 days - it has nothing to do with you. Again, the asymptomatic are not the presymptomatic.../2
...2. This is “could be this, could be that” research. No one is yet sure whether the asymptomatic - again, not the PREsymptomatic - are an infection danger. Research goes two ways. We do not know the answer.

3. This is completely irrelevant from a public health perspective.../3
...two people are standing there, one is asymptomatic, another is preymsomatic. They look identical. The asymptomatic may or may not infect you, research shows. The presymptomatic will infect you.

Final note: in 1918, if the asymptomatic existed, no one could find them.../4
...and it didn’t matter - just like this doesn’t matter now - because the vast majority of the people with this disease, even when presymptomatic, are highly contagious.

So keep being careful. Don’t kill yourself over some misrepresentation of what the WHO said.
