A study released on Monday from the journal Science shows that a shocking 86 percent of people in public settings could have “stealth” cases of the coronavirus, showing no symptoms but infecting others.
“It’s the undocumented infections which are driving the spread of the outbreak,” study co-author Jeffrey Shaman of Columbia University Mailman School said, according to GeekWire.
The New York Post reported on the study:
Using computer modeling, researchers tracked infections before and after the Chinese city of Wuhan’s travel ban.
The findings indicated that these undocumented infections with no or mild symptoms — known as “stealth” cases — were behind two-thirds of the reported patients.
“The majority of these infections are mild, with few symptoms at all,” Shaman said, the Mercury News reported. “People may not recognize it. Or they think they have a cold.”
“It will continue to present a major challenge to the containment of this outbreak going forward,” Shaman said, and added that it underscores the importance of restrictions on movement to try to slow the spread of the virus.

The only thing I can come up with is that the world knows this virus has been messed with by man. Thankfully the chinese are terrible at most things they do.
Virtual dittos to all you said and experienced. Same for a few in my small business group.
Thanks for taking the time to find those two maps - it confirms what I was thinking
If you’re correct, and this has already gone thru our communities, then Trump will look like a genius for closing down the borders - minimal impact to the USA compared to the rest of the world
So what explains Italy?
Anyone who believes this is massively overblown and certainly not worth shutting down the country and ruining life savings and the economy...is clearly not a Democrat or a Liberal. QED.
If 86 percent of the population already got it, with no ill effects, then the epidemic is over.
More lies from deep state.
This virus is not worth destroying people’s dreams and lives. Big govt sucks.
False narrative, false argument - completely not the point and is a response to an argument not being made. A relatively small portion of the populace becoming seriously ill with it at one time can cause the medical infrastructure to become completely overwhelmed and collapse.
Reality is difficult to deal with many times - but reality is what it is.
“This is higher than the flu at 0.1%, but a far cry from what the public health officials are claiming and insufficient reason to quarantine the nation and ruin the lives of small business owners and their employees.”
Perhaps they can make sure its as contaminated as the previous vaccines that have caused severe illness - autisim, cancer, me and others. Perhaps Fauci will be able to rig the results of the clinical trials to show positive results as they have done with others. You want documentation on all this and more? Read Dr. Judy Mikovits book “PLAGUE”. BTW they put her in jail when she blew the whistle on the corruption in the vaccine racket.
So what explains Italy?
She thinks they all might have had the same thing, the coronavirus. They all recovered (young people) and she herself only suffered long hours filling in for shifts and absent employees. She amazingly never got sick.
I believe many people have already been infected in certain parts of this country, treated themselves and moved on like most people do when they get colds and the flu. Shutting everything down is not the solution to beating this thing. Treating the flu when they get it is the secret.
Roger that.
Why are these racists at Columbia University Mailman School comparing this horrible disease with Hispanic peoples who come here looking for a better life?
Read a medical article a few months ago that the genetic differences in the Asian lung makes them more susceptible.
It was about how the genetics of the Asian lung makes it easier for the virus to attach and take affect.
Any way, I agree. A lot of melodrama gonna on.

They were just saying on the radio that in Italy and Iran men kiss or shake hands hello far more than we do here.
