Fears that COVID-19 can spread very easily through asymptomatic transmission were a major factor behind the lockdowns and mitigation measures seen across the world over the past year. Health leaders claimed that the threat of symptom-free spread necessitated broad shutdowns of major portions of the economy, indefinite school closures, mandatory public mask-wearing, capacity limits and other social distancing measures, and various other tactics for containing the spread of COVID-19.
Lost in the chaos of the past year is any definitive indication that asymptomatic spread of the virus is widespread or common. Scientists and public health officials have struggled to come up with meaningful epidemiological evidence to that effect, though most have continued insisting that it's a major contributor to the overall pandemic.
Van Kerkhove encountered significant backlash when she said that, based on current evidence, asymptomatic spread appeared to be "very rare." Van Kerkhove subsequently qualified her comment, a qualification hyped as a "walkback" by some in the media. Health officials "don't actually have that answer yet" as to the prevalence of asymptomatic spread, she said in narrowing her previous claim. "I was referring to a small subset of studies."
Van Kerkhove has not responded to queries since then regarding the evolving study of asymptomatic COVID transmission. Several other scientists, meanwhile, have attempted to answer that question with mixed results.
One study from December found that, within households, asymptomatic carriers of the virus passed it on to housemates at the rate of about 0.7%. That investigation made headlines for its apparent demonstration that asymptomatic spread is, in effect, vanishingly rare.

“So its a bunch of inconsiderate slobs with symptoms that are spreading it?”
Probably with a fever...which could be detected, and not much else in terms of obvious symptons. Taking peoples’ temperature (which is “touch free” now) as they enter a venue should probably have been the only screening method all long.
Or they could say:
The data “is consistent with” asymptomatic people being able to spread the virus.
Last Spring I took my temperature every so often because our kids asked us to, even if we didn’t feel sick. One time, to my great surprise, I did have a fever. I felt fine, it was my only symptom. I had a CoVid test done on day 4, which came back negative. I still quarantined for 2 weeks in an abundance of caution, but it made me wonder, how often do any of us have a fever and not have any idea? I didn’t feel sick in any regard. No sore throat, no fatigue, no aches, no cough. Nothing but a stupid fever that lasted for 6 days before it remained broken. It was planting season, so I worked outside in the yard every day, all day long. Having a fever without other symptoms also made me wonder how many days I’d had a fever before I took it that one day. The previous time had been about 10 days prior to it.

Of this giant scam which really is just a giant communist plot
The “asymptomatic transmission” part of that has always been the biggest most laughable and most complete and utter bull crap part of it
You have no symptoms whatsoever and yet are going to be able to shed this virus
Complete utter garbage
We spend so much time bickering about COVID BS while we are losing a free society.
