Fwiw, a tremendous amount of the data cited were from a handful of provinces in China.

There are mixed feelings about the WHO in all of this, but as of July 9, they maintain that "the extent of truly asymptomatic infection in the community remains unknown" and that "transmission from infected people without symptoms is difficult to study." So I guess they are just really good at talking out of both sides of their mouth.

They have to balance science with politics. 

They can only present and report on the info at hand. The 4 studies show transmission is very low or rare as the WHO doctor said. Yes, the subject may be difficult to study but the best info they have DETAILED contact tracing suggests exactly what the doctor originally stated.  

Transmission from infected people without symptoms is difficult to study. However, information can be gathered from detailed contact tracing efforts, as well as epidemiologic investigations among cases and contacts. Information from contact tracing efforts reported to WHO by Member States, available transmission studies and a recent pre-print systematic reviews suggests that individuals without symptoms are less likely to transmit the virus than those who develop symptoms.(10, 81, 84, 85) Four individual studies from Brunei, Guangzhou China, Taiwan China and the Republic of Korea found that between 0% and 2.2% of people with asymptomatic infection infected anyone else, compared to 0.8%-15.4% of people with symptoms.(10, 72, 86, 87)

Agreed. And there has been zero follow up to this data since it was first published. I've actually seen more recent published data that contradicts the WHO's findings, but I couldn't tell you how "good" that data actually is.

To me, we should be throwing a ton of domestic resources at the asymptomatic spread question, because if in fact it is rare for asymptomatic carriers to spread this, that is a game changer.

Agree completely.

    • So much talk about an investigation about student record manipulation and then everything has went silent. Has anyone heard how the investigation is going?
    • Basically what you're saying is schools can basically bully students around and get away with it because they are protected. I agree to a certain extent but when schools decisions to keep knuckleheads on staff starts costing kids careers and a college education there is a problem. Our school system last week had a teacher supposedly push a kid and the parents went to the law and the teacher is suspended. So I wouldn't say that they can just do what they want without liability. This case don't pass the smell test because the coach had already been fired before and she got fired after a year on the job. Sounds like the student was right in this case on the outside looking in because the coach gets fired after one year. How many coaches get fired after one year?? Not many. 
    • Problem with DB football goes beyond coaching. Like Waco said. Thr band is the main focus of their community and school. They have the resources to be a championship level team. Guarantee Ballard or Witten could have them nationally relevant at some point but everyone down to peewee would have to buy in and at DB we all know that would never happen. 
    • I know the RB from OR he’s fast and has good hands. Is good on special teams also. Didn’t want to play defense over to the Ridge.
    • Lieutenant Flip flops is on a roll. #1 recruiter in Anderson Co, fo-sho.
