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.

you and others have been passing this false information all day. The infection rate on the Diamond Princess is quite high, and the death rate is probably still growing.....
The article you used probably contained early numbers.
According to the article below, it went from 10 cases confirmed to more than 700 of the 3,500 on board.

Its also interesting to see that the people most critical of data, do not know how to qualify its accuracy and completeness .
What state do you live, HotHunt?
Are they using BCA software?
Beat me.
Florida.
Thanks for responding. Was wondering if you are in an area with heavy Asian migration like Washington or California. I am in Florida, too. If it was here that early, it was pretty widespread. More facts will come out if doctors widely recognize the symptoms as consist as months ago.
“Study”?
Probably more of a brainless-storming attempt to cause even more panic with zero actual analysis - except in their “How can we make things worse” pea brains.
Shame on those who published this $#!+
Yep. Probably. Maybe in a few weeks. ;)
She attends a daycare nearby where all of the kids are sick all of the time. She brings home their crud and gives it to my wife and I. The kids seem unaffected by these germs and illnesses. They are young, resilient and bounce right back after a day or two. Me? I'm down for the count for two months. Lol! 🤪
The second bout of pneumonia I contracted was viral and the symptoms were classic coronavirus-like. Fever, sore throat, coughing, can't breathe, body aches. My doctor at the VA said there wasn't much they could do for me in the hospital so she sent me home with instructions to treated it just like most people do with the flu when they get it....with typical common sense, home remedies.
There is no magical cure or vaccine for it. You just have to take care of yourself and not act like you're okay. But I recovered and feel back to normal again.
So...walking around the grocery store with a crossbow or machete is definitely out, too?
/worst. zombie. apocalypse. ever.
Yeah. That too, D@mmit! ;)
