Polio has a higher level of asymptomatic cases than #SARScov2 (up to 95%). The history of polio should act as a warning shot to us for Covid. In 1916 in New York there was a large polio outbreak, much of the transmission came from patients that showed no symptoms whatsoever.
Yet this left over 2,000 people dead and nationally in the US 6,000 people died. Many were paralysed by this condition. We know from studies and testing that #SARSCoV2 transmits asymptomatically.
We are still learning about the many hundreds of strains that cause COVID. There are many studies highlighting the long term risks from neurological, blood clots to heart conditions. We should be trying to suppress infections and stop the spread.
We have gone past the point where we should be waiting to act. WHO has informed us that 'hundreds of millions' will need 'long term care' following on from having an infection. We can prevent this using good ventilation, opening the windows and by using an air filter #N95.
