4 in 10 with COVID may be spreading virus unknowingly, global study warns

Four in ten people infected with COVID-19 show no symptoms — but are still potential spreaders of the disease, according to a new study.

The findings, published last week in JAMA Network Open, found that 40.5 percent of people diagnosed with COVID-19 globally were asymptomatic.

However, researchers said this highlights the “potential transmission” of the virus unknowingly, particularly in certain settings.

“Screening for asymptomatic infection is required, especially for countries and region that have successfully controlled SARS-CoV-2,” researchers from Peking University said.

“Asymptomatic infections should be under management similar to that for confirmed infections, including isolating and contact tracing.”

So, it's almost a coin toss to you even realize that you are infected unless you take a flawed test and show up "positive."

“Four in ten people infected with COVID-19 show no symptoms“

And when they DO show “symptoms”, it’s: cough, runny nose, tiredness..

So just WHY has everyone lost their minds over this???

They're like the witches of the "Salem Witchcraft Trials."

They look just like anyone else!

They display no overt symptoms.

And they are probably vax-deniers!

And they have actually no special powers.

“They’re like the witches of the ‘Salem Witchcraft Trials’.”

Great analogy.

Well then, let’s weigh everybody. If someone weighs the same as a duck, then they must be a witch, excuse me, an asymptomatic super-spreader. Hat tip Monte Python.

Sign up for a course on Logic-101.

If someone offers me a tip on a stock with 60% chance of success, I will buy. Nothing in life is guaranteed 100% except death.

And even with that test, they cannot tell if you truly have COVID-19 or the Flu!

Wait, wait. Doesn’t this contradict all previous studies on transmission as well as what we know in general about the spread of respiratory viruses? Isn’t it just a little too convenient for this to be revealed now!?

Except the level of efficacy for these Clot-Shots is much, much below that, and coupled with that is the much, MUCH higher probability of getting some-type of Clot-generated disease or after-effect like strokes, heart-attacks, myocarditis, etc. which means your 60% chance of success zeros out.

Wait. What is that analogy? It goes from the woman taking contraceptives to the guy using a condom?

My son is home from college and he is coughing but otherwise feeling OK. He also was sick when he came home for Thanksgiving. He’s never been tested for covid—I keep waiting for others in the household to get symptoms but so far nothing at Thanksgiving and nothing now.

It would be perfect if we all got a mild version now and got it over with, before school starts up again.

The problem is the aspect that the tweet doesn’t discuss - the downside of the vaccines. There are side effects. Anyone that takes the jab is a beta tester. And if we were in a sane world it would have been pulled from the market in a few weeks, based on the side affects.

So, that 60% stock comes with a 5% chance you’ll die. Still interested?
