All people who died are in fact Infected by someone. Most likely by someone who they know. I'm worried about infecting others, even more worried about people who think they're so strong it won't effect them. But hey some people are probably so strong and healthy they can't infect others...
Yep, in your case I can fully agree with the way that you have chosen to handle the Covid issue.
That's been my point all along, we should all be able to make our own choices. To assess our personal situation and risks, and then act accordingly.
Very Really not limited to COVID with this statement. You can apply how little/much people care about each other to almost every single aspect of your life.
We want people to care about others always, just doesn’t happen. Government can’t mandate that nor should they be allowed to.
if you are offended by that post then....
Come on, that's ridiculous. So because I think that the individual should be able to have the right to choose how they want to handle this Covid fiasco, now I just don't care about others...what a joke.
They have not confirmed that asymptomatic people spread Covid. There is no documented case, according to the WHO, that an asymptomatic carrier spread the virus to another person.

Did it come off as offended? That’s a mistake on the interpretation then.
I just think your comment was stupid, you’re willing to assume who does or does not care about people regarding a mask and COVID specifically but I’m willing to bet that you yourself never give that a thought in almost all other aspects of your life, maybe you do, but the fact you made the comment says you don’t.
In fairness I don’t either and it’s unrealistic to expect it, but you can also get off your high horse because you want to wear a mask as if that’s the be all end all. When you say crap like that comment, it comes off as virtue signally, not actually caring about other people.
Edit: this was probably a waste of time anyway and because taboo is gone, half this crap will be gone, so this was my last response on the topic. Cheers to you for your choices. Back to the titans.
To each their own for sure. It’s your choice to do what you want. But there are no lab confirmed cases of asymptomatic carriers spreading the virus.

Uhh, pick something newer than April 2nd.
this is so incorrect it hurts lmao
april 2nd buddy, get a grip
Its still an accurate statement, and I will admit it is news to me.
However, it should not be presented as asymptomatic carriers do not transmit the disease.
I get what you're saying but I think this falls more in line with say cancer patients. 605K people die every year from cancer, 1.8 million contract the disease.
When a person is going through cancer treatment, their immune system is very weak. So they personally take precautions. They don't go out in public unless necessary, they wear masks, etc. We don't force the rest of the population to shut down because of such a large number of people are at an additional risk.
A drunk driver puts everyone on the road at risk. Only a very small segment of the population is truly at risk with Covid. Even if someone catches it, the mortality rate is virtually zero unless you are in that small slice of the high risk pie.

It’s literally on their website. Maybe they should update it if there is new info? If you can find something different.... post it.
It’s the WHO website. Post the current info since they apparently haven’t....
I appreciate the honesty. And yes it shouldn’t be interpreted that way at all but it should also mean people stop assuming asymptomatic transmission is an automatic thing.
Burden of proof is on the one making the claim, even though I believe you.
So here is my issue with the original statment.
If I have it and am asymptomatic, and all of a sudden I swallow something wrong or inhale a bunch of dust and start coughing......would that transmit the disease?
Fair enough.
The problem with the asymptomatic thing is that you don't know that you are asymptomatic until after the fact. You might be pre-symptomatic and if that is the case, you can definitely spread it.
Take the political stuff to Shoutbox. We’ll start issuing warnings and thread banning moving forward.
Not sure but that’s a valid question.
