[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4495504, member: 63706"] That's one of the articles I read. "The detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in presymptomatic or asymptomatic persons [B]does not prove that they can transmit the virus to others[/B]. We describe evidence that supports the concept of transmission while presymptomatic and asymptomatic, which we found during a rapid literature review conducted at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in early April 2020." But if you read through the case studies (which are anecdotal) they list as evidence, they make a lot of assumptions to only come to the conclusion that it is [I]possible[/I] that pre and asymptomatic transmission occurs. Then they say, to paraphrase, that from the fact that asymptomatic people test positive, only 4 cases with lower than average C numbers, that makes it likely that their viral load is high enough to transmit. Then they say they don't know what C number level demonstrates infectiousness, so they cast doubt on their own argument. The whole thing reads as though they are grasping at straws to support their theory. Just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
