[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4727332, member: 63706"] I'm willing to accept the possibility that asymptomatic spread is a factor, because it is consistent with the fact that most people are asymptomatic, or develop very mild symptoms, when considered with the number of cases. But that is also as consistent with both faulty tests/testing and the wrong strategy for testing. If we treated this like any other respiratory virus, it is likely only people who ended up hospitalized would be tested, and the numbers we see would barely register. This test everyone and keep retesting indefinitely is a wasteful and uniformative approach. As for household transmission, there's really no reason to question it. This has always been the most likely avenue of transmission for respiratory illness. Which is why stay at home orders were a complete travesty. It's almost like the people making decisions never encountered a respiratory illness, or even read about one. Completely clueless. [/QUOTE]
