Article from a campus news source but they link to the appropriate studies.

You would think a more precise or surgical response could be achieved rather than our cut the head off approach we are using now to combat the spread of WuFlu.

Eh this was eye opening to me anyways.

So the vast majority have their lives turned into a never ending shit show to accommodate a small minority.

COVID is liberalism.

Dr Fauci agrees
Asymptomatic transmission of Covid is a non issue

“while about half of infected people aren’t contagious at all at the time of diagnosis”

Probably like any other cold virus.

It has been known for a while that PCR tests were much more sensitive than the alarmingly efficient superspreaders, which represent only 2-10 percent of infections. Hopefully there won’t be as much pressure to get a vaccine as to wear masks.

“The takeaway from these studies is that most people . . don’t get other people sick, but a few people get a lot of people sick,”

Yes, It’s called the Democratic Party!

How many college students have died from COVID? Very few.

A few “super carriers” with off-the-charts viral loads

So we're talking about #SuperLoads?

I believe this is not an uncommon dynamic with a good many viral contagions. I’m not sure if there are other viruses that see this kind of hyper-spread among a super-minority of carriers. But, ‘super-spreader’ have long been known to be a thing.

There is another thing the report highlights that needs further investigation.

Obviously a “super-spreader” (s0meone with a very high viral load) who is still asymptomatic has something going on with their immune system that is preventing whatever viral load they have from causing an illness. Exactly what defense(s) their systems have needs to be investigated. If everyone had their immune systems the Covid-19 virus would be another innocuous bug we carry with no ill affect - like millions of other such bugs for which that is already the case.

Yes, it’s interesting that so many people have been unable to understand what viral loads are.

I wonder if any of it might be due to whoever gets diagnosed and then contact traced to loads of new PCR tests.

Just another confirmation that restricting the movement of sick people is quarantine, while restricting the movement of healthy people is tyranny.
