Stealth coronavirus cases are fueling the pandemic, with a staggering 86% of people infected walking around undetected, a new study says.
Six of every seven cases 86% were not reported in China before travel restrictions were implemented, driving the spread of the virus, according to a study Monday in the journal Science.
Its the undocumented infections which are driving the spread of the outbreak, said co-author Jeffrey Shaman of Columbia University Mailman School, according to GeekWire.
Using computer modeling, researchers tracked infections before and after the Chinese city of Wuhans travel ban.

CoVid - 535 is more lethal. It’s been around for a long, long time.

2020 see histories of all.
Person went into a local doctors office claiming they had the WuFlu. Everyone freaked out and donned protective gear, etc. When test came back it was sinusitis. Everyone in office had to be quarantined. Sad. (Jacksonville, NC)
I am currently working with someone who claims their roommate has been tested and is awaiting results. She even swiped my lysol wipes because she needed them more than I did. (Huh?) She only told a few that story, and now everybody don’t know what to believe. This is a Walmart store employee. I actually think she is just a liar, but time will tell. She is by nature a selfish person. also arrogant.
I don’t doubt my son had it. He thinks he got it from his bosses wife who had returned from a trip. He has been very sick but thinks he is finally getting better.
Of course, he didn’t go to the Dr., he only seeks medical attention when he’s at death’s door and they take him in an ambulance.
That may well be the case - I had just noticed previous headlines suggesting that people in Wuhan were back at work. I was responding to a poster who said that we can now “get back to business” since it’s probable that the infection rate was higher than initially suspected (and therefore the fatality rate lower). I was pointing out that whatever the infection/fatality rate (in hindsight) appears to have been, it was nonetheless sufficient to require drastic action.
Can the alarmist here now stop claiming the death rate in China is 3.4%? This study proves its nowhere near that.
Which is why we should be following the advice of the President right now and stay home.
These were statistics using movements of those in China Before the travel restrictions were in place.
Also is states undocumented. Not symptom free. They were probably referencing mild cases tho.
All.
Do you know anyone with a confirmed case of Wu-Flu?
I’ve have asked everyone I know, not even a secondhand affirmative.
Economics Teacher : Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?
Simone : Um, he’s sick. My best friend’s sister’s boyfriend’s brother’s girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who’s going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it’s pretty serious.
Economics Teacher : Thank you, Simone.
Simone : No problem whatsoever.
Those who get sick during the seasonal flu, do so over a period of many months. The number of deaths they are referring to in the US (2.2 million)wouid occur in 1-2 months without a lockdown/ restrictions in place.
It seems to mainly be very deadly to the over 80 group and the compromised. No deaths in the 0-20 group that I have heard.
But...look at Italy, the problem is, how many will die w/o extreme medical intervention and we lack the capacity to care for millions if millions require it.
“No, sadly, they have not shown illness... yet”
The article states the ‘undocumented’ have mild or NO symptoms and never know they are sick so they continue to spread it. It does not indicate that they just haven’t gotten sick ‘yet’.
Anyone under 50 in reasonable health may have been infected and though they just had the seasonal cold or flu.
BINGO but media scaremongering not covering it pimps hysteria and plans to use it during election time.
It’s probably a fair assumption that more than half of us are walking around with all viruses in circulation at the moment.
14% are known to be infected.
14% = 4,200 since that is the number of known infected
6 x 14 = 84 ( +/- 2)
Therefore 6 x 4,200 is the total of undetected infected
walking around? TOTAL = 25,000 ?
Have i got that right?
I thought this. Say I start to feel like I am getting a Cold. I stay home. I don’t get sick enough to go to Dr. I do not want to clog the system. In a couple of days I feel fine. I have no Temp. I go back to work.
I am an undocumented case. So the infection rate is higher than the tests indicate.
My friend sneezed at the Grocery store, and you’d think the building was on fire the way people ran
“I wanna jump, but I’m afraid I’ll fall.
I wanna holler, but the joint’s too small
Young Man rhythm’s got a hold of me too
I got the Rocking Pneumonia
And the Boogie Woogie Flu!”
Absolutely. They just know everyone will freak if they say it now. So, yesterday the hammer cane down for 2 weeks. They figure after 2 weeks, we will be convinced to stay out for a couple of months.
Heck, Primaries were pushed back to June.
Well see. My grandson went to bed with a fever last night. My daughters friends mother flew back from India to Miami last week. What would it take for everyone to know somebody? If 7 billion people are all 6 degrees of separation how many would have to be sick for everyone to know someone?
