maddmaxx ★ Posted August 20, 2020 Share #7 Posted August 20, 2020 Science now admits that temperature is not a very effective way of covid screening. This is similar to fear of touching mail. The real danger is breathing the exhalations of folks who have no symptoms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infected people with no symptoms are the greatest spreaders in the country. The WHO clarified that original mistaken statement about non infectious. There are very few people who meet a very narrow definition but a lot who fall into the "don't have symptoms yet". The standard used for the non symptom folks really includes those too. Some of the confusion boiled down to the details of what an asymptomatic infection actually is, and the different ways the term is used. While some cases of Covid-19 are fully asymptomatic, sometimes the word is also used to describe people who haven’t started showing symptoms yet, when they are presymptomatic. Research has shown that people become infectious before they start feeling sick, during that presymptomatic period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far, no one I know has gotten it through lack of contact with other folks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted August 20, 2020 Share #12 Posted August 20, 2020 "Asymptotic" students seem to be shutting down schools across the country as they don't seem to like the rules necessary to keep schools open. Hard to believe I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the UCONN story hit the national news. At least 14 students evicted from campus for having a "gathering" in a dorm room..........and that didn't even involve any known passing of infections. There's a reason we're still running in the green. Someone in an interview said that "you can't blame 19 and 20 year olds for doing what 19 and 20 year olds do". Yes I can. They are in many cases shutting down schools for others who can follow the rules. Time to grow up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
