So now its no symptoms, no spread. That's what the purpose of the masks is - to keep those who don't know they have it from spreading it
" Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, head of WHO’s emerging diseases and zoonosis unit, seemingly contradicting what many have been led to believe about the transmission of the coronavirus.
In other words, while it still happens in some cases, patients without symptoms aren’t generally the ones driving the spread. This flies in the face of previous research warning the disease could be difficult to contain because of asymptomatic infections.
“We have a number of reports from countries who are doing very detailed contact tracing,” Van Kerkhove said at a briefing Monday from the U.N.’s headquarters. “They’re following asymptomatic cases. They’re following contacts. And they’re not finding secondary transmission onward.”"
That's interesting, but a local nursing home had over 50 covid deaths that were traced back to a worker who tested positive but was asymptomatic. At the time the infection was brought in to the facility, visitors were not allowed to enter any long-term care facility, and all workers were screened for symptoms before they were allowed to report for work.
As continues to be the case, it seems like nobody has a deep understanding of the virus yet...
