this is exactly what I was about to say, he himself is only parroting that report so much bc it fits his slant!

WHO worse than facebook posters at this point

we shall be waiting im genuinely curious

IDK any more than he does and I dont think the WHO is doing much more than shooting 50/50 on some of these reports. It would make sense if asymps had a lower chance of spreading this thing airborne, but just like with other viruses, if ur swapping fluids, I dont see how you dont transmit it

but I think we're still in the conjecture phase on at least 90% of how this disease works, and Im doing the same thing

people still scared of this s***?

i agree, im curious to see how being infected but being asymptomatic causes the virus to lay dormant in the individual and not cause it to transmit, it just doesnt go along with anything that ive learned about regarding the pathophysiology of any disease

yes

antibody tests are a total crapshoot

no antibody test right now is even close to being accurate. thats why most scientists/doctors don't even take them seriously.

couldn't be me

this the s*** that pisses me off more than anything, cause im such an inquisitive person and Id like to know just to know personally

Study on ferrets as well as data collection suggests asymptomatic carriers of the SARS coronavirus (THIS IS NOT COVID19 THE STUDY IS FROM BEFORE COVID19) have a much lower chance of spreading the virus than symptomatic carriers due to the fact that instead of spreading through coughing or sneezing or runny noses, it spreads through breathing and occasionally through talking. This doesn’t mean the virus can’t be spread through asymptomatic carriers but the likeliness is much lower. This is the first one i could find in a sea of covid19 reports.

I don’t recall saying anything about a virus being dormant because the carrier is asymptomatic btw.

Also bro that’s being passive aggressive for some weird reason can suck my d***

La about to look real spooky soon

I protested twice in the past three days, but kept it to smaller groups of 40-50 so I could practice social distancing. I'm not ready for crowds of this size yet.

They aren’t “crapshoot”

It shows perfectly how many people in Italy had it and that the official numbers are bullshit.

But you don’t want to hear that because it’s something positive right

This.

Millions of people in Italy had it. That s*** isn’t that deadly. Of course it’s worse than a normal flu but we know way more about it right now.

pretty funny how Newsom held out soooo long and planned to reopen slowly and then suddenly there’s thousands of people gathering everyday

they are tho. scientists still don't know how to test for this coronavirus. there was a peer reviewed study released that explained the antibody test is close to 50% false positive, which is terrible

What is "the" antibody test? There are multiple antibody tests hawked by various companies, which is part of the problem.

Some are very accurate, some are extremely inaccurate. The question is which one is being offered to you and how can you be sure of its accuracy? I'm not sure a patient can ask that question and receive a straight answer.

watching the tone of this thread shift is hilarious to me
