The WHO said today those who are Asymptomatic including the above symptoms are 50% less likely to transmit COVID as those WITH symptoms.

You can Google it.

The four italicized "symptoms" are/can be related to allergies, which many of us live with.  How do we discern which is which?

Thanks for sharing that info. 

To me, the timing is fishy. Seems like 'they' are wanting something to point to in case there's not a spike due to all the rioters. Just sayin...

Quarantine yourself from others if you have symptoms, and get tested.

@GrailSeeker   I read this news earlier on line.  It never made sense to me how asystematic people spread the virus.

Couldn't have come at a more convenient time, could it.

So if I understand this correctly, it means is that if you have the virus, you are contagious, but you get more contagious once you start to get symptoms.

That's good to know, but it's still only safe to assume you could have it and infect others, so wear a mask, and if you have symptoms, stay away from people.

Multiple newsources are reporting tonight.

I won't post any links, just google this:

Asymptomatic spread of coronavirus is ‘very rare'

I just read this too...and while it's good news, the article did say that one can still catch it the day of or right before one shows symptoms.  Hard to know what to believe.

Yeah, I know.  But then, we aren't doctors, are we.

The term I saw was "rare" and "very rare" for an asymptomatic person to pass the virus on.

For me, this means that with people I trust to not go out sick, and who say they feel fine,  like family, it is perfectly safe to meet with them.
