Again, testing positive without symptoms simply means one has acquired immunity.

We get exposed to flu virus every time we shop at a store. If a test for flu was done we would test positive as well. But our body fights it off by creating anti-bodies.

A positive test for covid-19 is no different.

These lying F***ers need to cut it out. Enough is enough of them trying to stoke mass hysteria.

We need an excuse to keep the schools closed, so here’s your “study”.

We made it special just for you guys.

Enjoy.

If it comes from the NY Post you’ve got to know it’s fake.

Does not surprise me. Viruses find away. Good thing cv-19 is not a big threat to the vast majority of people with healthy immune systems.

Go hide in a corner and don’t come out until you feel safe. That should be a couple of years at least.

I gave myself 10 minutes to debunk this. It took me 12. Here it is:

“Despite the value of the study by Han et al,13 there are limitations that leave important remaining knowledge gaps that are ripe for investigation. The first limitation is due to qualitative molecular detection methods, which are the standard clinical approach for testing of nasopharyngeal swab specimens. Qualitative positive or negative findings for molecular detection of virus may not necessarily correlate with infectivity. Sensitive molecular detection methods may detect viable, infective virus but also nonviable or fragments of RNA with no capability for transmission. “

Yup. Couldn’t tell if it was live virus kids were shedding, or dead fragments because their little immune systems kicked covid’s butt and spit out the pieces. I suspect the latter.

They didn’t attempt to culture any virus, to see if it was live or dead.

More BS.

Two Washington-based scientists made the discovery by analyzing South Korean kids...

so much deception. the Washington-based scientists merely wrote a “commentary” or “editorial” based on a S. Korean “study”...

some of the questions at the link:

28 Aug: PR Newswire: Children with no COVID-19 symptoms may shed virus for weeks
Invited commentary raises questions about pediatric transmission
News provided by Children’s National Hospital
But many questions remain about the significance of the pediatric population as vectors for this sometimes deadly disease, according to an invited commentary by Children’s National Hospital doctors that accompanies this new study published online Aug. 28, 2020 in JAMA Pediatrics. The commissioned editorial, written by Roberta L. DeBiasi, M.D., M.S., chief of the Division of Infectious Diseases, and Meghan Delaney, D.O., M.P.H., chief of the Division of Pathology and Lab Medicine, provides important insight on the role children might play in the spread of COVID-19 as communities continue to develop public health strategies to reign in this disease.

The study that sparked this commentary focused on 91 pediatric patients followed at 22 hospitals throughout South Korea...

However, the commentary authors say, despite these important findings, the study raises several questions. One concerns the link between testing and transmission. A qualitative “positive” or “negative” on testing platforms may not necessarily reflect infectivity, with some positives reflecting bits of genetic material that may not be able to make someone sick or negatives reflecting low levels of virus that may still be infectious...

Really?

Reckon we’d better close schools down for years.

No worries!!!

The only ones susceptible to infection, by these asymptomatic kids, are government employees.

From the article:

How is a virus easily spread without symptoms if they have to reach to the back of my skull to even tell if I have it?

"How is a virus easily spread without symptoms if they have to reach to the back of my skull to even tell if I have it?"

There's the answer right there, in the form of a question, pgyanke! Good work!

See, EinNYC? We have nothing at all to fear from the brothers and sisters of the China virus! They can't spread the disease.

LOL!

Do what you can to take care of yourself and your loved ones, and you’ll have done all that you can do. Accept whatever comes. It will generally be for the best. A plague is also mentioned in Prophets. That one will be rougher for many, but it will also be for the best in the end.

Yes, weasel worded
Kids get infected
They even shed virus so the implication is they are infectious
But there is still no conclusive evidence that
they actually infect each other or anyone, to
any significant effect....at least kids who are not teens
Look for that in the study. Its not
there.

“Nothing I see in the study shows asymptomatic TRANSMISSION.“

That’s what I read too. This is hardcore Panic Porn.
