If we had large numbers of asymptomatics or ‘recovered’ in California, contamination would have shown up in urgent cares as flus in the lull between the Jan 31 airlifts and the release from quarantine 14 days later - around Valentine’s Day.
Why would "asymptomatics" go to an urgent care?
“Why would “asymptomatics” go to an urgent care?”
They wouldn’t, but all the people they infected would generate some nice hotspots. Best data we have says 45% of all cases are symptomatic.
With an R0 north of 2, every one of your asymptomatics is going to infect 2+ people, one of whom will display symptoms. After infecting 2+ other people. And so on.
They don’t exist, or the mechanics of this disease are so bizarre we might as well throw in the towel.
Maybe if you are not sick, but a carrier, it just waits until you are sick with something else to activate. Wouldn’t that suck? (That’s a horror story, not a hypothesis, for the record.)
lol. the asymptomatics wouldn’t but the ‘contaminated’ or those they infected, would. Sorry, was a bit of word salad.
