In Anyang, China, five members of a family came down with the coronavirus after hosting a guest from Wuhan in early January. But the visitor, a 20-year-old woman, never got sick herself.
Some individuals who are infected with the coronavirus can spread it even though they have no symptoms, studies have shown.
Asymptomatic carriers are a well-known phenomenon. But the coronavirus is a new pathogen, and these cases may complicate scientific efforts to detect cases and to curb transmission.
I dont think theres any question that someone who is without symptoms and carrying the virus can transmit the virus to somebody else, said Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
The question is, how prevalent is that phenomenon? Is that becoming an important driver of the outbreaks, or is it an unusual occurrence?
When asymptomatic carriers are important factors in an outbreak, he said, you are going to put greater emphasis and burden on testing people.

It's about asymptomatic spread being validated by Fauci.
When the China CDC first reported it a month ago, both the WHO and US CDC laughed, sneered and said it could not happen.

Hey man.
Are 100 million infected yet?

“You got two days for your prediction to come true.”
I’ve never made a prediction about how many would become infected.
And by making that statement you have exposed yourself as both a fool and a liar.
So, what does a fool consider to be a reputable source of information?
He is working on his next doomsday prediction. One billion this time. We are all domed. Lol.
Dr who?
Did he show up in a police call box?
I watched it and he says nothing different from the other health pros.
It is certainly possible, but there are not 100 million tests available to find out.
You got two days for your prediction to come true.
Ive never made a prediction about how many would become infected.

Below is exactly what you write on Jan 25:

The good news is that its not really all that fatal.
So far its tracking at about 3% mortality.
With a reproduction baseline of 1.9 to 3.8.
At that rate several million could be infected by the end of the month. And by the end of next month several hundred million.
At 3% death rate, and an ICU rate of about 20%.
Theres really no good news at all.

If the reproduction rate was as stated in the source article that would have happened.
