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.

Doesnt she have access to wipes?
how many will die w/o extreme medical intervention and we lack the capacity to care for millions if millions require it.
Thats what this is all about.
>>If any were hospitalized per your question, local media would be all over it.<<
Considering how strong the HIPPA law is, I don’t think you can be so sure of that.
Using computer modeling, researchers tracked infections before and after the Chinese city of Wuhans travel ban.
Was the source of these statistics CHINA?
If so, then G I G O
Which is exactly what the CDC data on CONFIRMED flu vs COVID cases describes.

>>I look at the live webcams from Wuhan, it doesnt look like they are back to business to me.<<
Interesting, and I have no trouble believing that to be the case because I think their reported numbers of cases and deaths are complete bunk. I also think they probably kicked out the U.S. press out of the country because they need to get people back in the factories—one way or another.
By the way, I hope I’m wrong about their numbers because they are a source of optimism that the Wuhan Virus can be contained. I just don’t think it’s very likely.
That's the million dollar question, isn't it? Looks to me like the number was pretty much pulled out of thin air.
Then anyone under 50 better stay the hell off my property.
That includes census takers and any other government worker, especially LEO.
With this 86% stealth figure, then the death rate further approaches the flu.
Probably true, not because it is so contagious, but because it has been here considerably longer than the official line says it has. Because of his symptoms, I believe my oldest son had it right before Christmas. He was treated for flu, but the flu test came up negative. I lived around him the whole time he had it and I never got sick (got married and moved out since).
It’s actually 87% of the people we don’t know about.
>>Have i got that right?<<
No, and I can’t follow your math, but you’re not far off.
If 14% of the total infected have been confirmed, the total infected is X and confirmed cases are 4,200 (your number).
So .14 times X = 4,200 is the equation to solve for X
X = 4200 divided by .14 so X = 30,000 (Total Infected)
But the 86% number is from a model, remember, and therefore quite suspect. If only 4% of total cases have been confirmed, for example, X would be 105,000. And since we’ve just really gotten started with testing in the U.S., the number of unconfirmed cases is probably quite high relative to, say, South Korea which has been testing relentlessly for weeks now.
this thing is no worse than a bad flu. The only people that should be taking extraordinary precautions are the old and the infirm. The young should live their lives.
Is she a millenial?
If 7 billion people are all 6 degrees of separation how many would have to be sick for everyone to know someone?
And that is exactly the point.
Many headlines not so many confirmed cases.
My daughter was working at Central DuPage Hospital Sunday and they were told to expect the first case on Monday.
And she is not certain if its for C D H or the larger Northwestern hospital system.
About 100 confirmed cases in Illinois, so far out of 13 Million. Zero fatalities.
Illinois has had 170 traffic fatalities so far in 2020.
Does that mean, by their estimates, that approximately 1 in 10 million? people may be walking around with the coronavirus?
We are shutting down America because 1 in 10 million might have coronavirus?
