The most recent study from China on the prevalence of infection after a lockdown found no transmission of the CCP virus among people who were in close contact with asymptomatic patients, contradicting the current narrative that asymptomatic transmission plays a major role in the pandemic.
An asymptomatic carrier is someone who has not displayed symptoms after being infected, but may spread the virus to others. This is different from someone who is presymptomatic, meaning the person doesn’t feel or look sick, but eventually shows symptoms later, and does transmit the virus during that presymptomatic phase.

Does that mean if I have no symptoms, I can quit wearing the face diaper?

1, no, because some psycho will mace or assault you.
In the name of public safety. Of course.

What poster # 2 said.
For reals: a post from someone on my local neighborhood online forum asking where he can turn in his neighbors for not wearing a mask outside and having people other than their family visit their house - without masks. He was absolutely serious. Most people told him to just stay away if he was so bothered.

#2, I periodically just don't wear a mask, so far, not a word.

And we are now to believe the ChiComs - why? Maybe because they made this bug in the first place?

COVID is a virus. A mask will not work on a virus. Just my opinion. It's all political.

Sadly, we now know we are a nation of drones with the sole purpose of supporting the state. Even worse, than that is the knowledge that we have birthed a nation of “Karen’s” who feel empowered to tell us what to do, loudly and with great sanctimony. Clearly, there is a tiny bit of totalitarianism is far too many of us. The real problem is much darker. The media lies in order to set the narrative for dishonest medical professionals, politicians and bureaucrats who would use a virus as a political weapon. So powerful are these evil entities that they have wrecked a vibrant economy, been complicit in massive lay offs, closed small businesses, destroyed a year of education for children who attend public school, caused suicides, depression, and death because of their fervor to destroy and shut down a winning America. They had one shot to pull this off and they succeeded. They not only destroyed, but this was not enough for these amoral elites. It was all just an end to the means of insuring that their candidate was elected. This little virus did not pop out of nowhere. It was designed by our enemy, hyped by a dishonest media, and used by the democrats to institute mail in voting, a system that even their own leaders had declared rife with fraud just a few years ago. But now, it was the best option they had going into 2020. So here we are. However, through their zealous incompetency, they got caught. Examples of massive voter fraud came to light and now they are scrambling to protect their lying narrative that states that this is all a conspiracy theory on the part of sore loser Republicans. We are fighting for our personal freedoms against a damnable political party that would use a deadly virus to get their way and gain political power. As it is with every abomination that befalls this country, the media is right there pushing the democrat narrative. Facts, evidence and common sense goes out the window when the mighty media rears is lying head to set the narrative that we must all follow. Note that every single time, they are wrong, ill-informed, or perpetrating lies and fraud. I believe the media is the most deadly virus we face in this country. It destroys lives and countries with nothing more than the lying amoral talking heads it employes. I would much rather deal with a virus than the corrupt media in this country. The media is far from finished. They will attack anyone who opposes the narrative of lockdowns and mandated mask wearing all under the threat of imminent viral death if we do not comply.

I try to never wear one, if possible. I read this comment elsewhere and I'm going to start using it: "I don’t wear one because of my medical condition. My BP goes up every time I think I’m being controlled"

Serious question: How many people do you know RIGHT NOW who have COVID? I live in the metro-Atlanta area and don't know a single soul who has it RIGHT NOW. I know people who had it this summer, but I'd say, since September, I don't know anyone who has it. I find that very odd considering it has "spiked" again.

If a person who is Asymptomatic and has the virus, but it is so mild that he doesn't even know it ?
Is the virus he may pass also so mild that the person he passes it to will have a mild case?

Yesterday I turned on my local news (DC metro area unfortunately() just for the weather and they had a story about a Fairfax County, VA school teacher who modified the tree house in her backyard for her to conduct her Zoom class lessons for her students. They showed this young (30s) woman wearing a mask sitting alone in her tree house classroom conducting a Zoom lesson. Sitting ALONE wearing a mask.
And then I'm at a BJs store yesterday and I'm seeing young children with their parents and they are all wearing masks. Children are not seriously threatened by COVID 19. Of course, this is after entering the store and observing customers ahead of me wiping down the handle on their shopping carts and then going into the store and picking up and/.or touch books, clothing, food items, etc. Unbelievable.

I can't find the studies on antibodies being passed on by recovered patients. Maybe the masks and lock downs are inhibiting herd immunity, preventing the natural entropy set up at the foundation of the world by our Benevolent Creator.

First of all, there was no "spike" except in the number of tests being given. The percentage of those tested would naturally rise with the test count. Dim politicians are using that as a panic point to keep people locked down until Brokefoot Joe can officially announce his miracle cure. Sadly, the fraudulent election has delayed for him that achievement.
Karens have always been with us, how else can we populate school boards and our DMVs? It's just that now, the magic mask is a visible symbol of our being either a sheep or a sheep dog. Up until now, Karen's only visible indications have been bicycle helmets, sun screen and "free ranging" children (those who play outside sans parental supervision).

Positive tests have been counted as “cases”. Death rates have been padded with the post mortem giving of Covid tests. If the deceased tests positive - regardless of actual cause of death - they are counted as a Covid death. We are prisoners of false data.

Interesting....the more WE find out... the more lockdown is looking suspicious as a solution...there needs to be one source that has all the information... then WE can make decisions for ourselves....and I'm not talking about dr. fauci... he's been compromised by the fake news....

There seems to be a misunderstanding about antibodies. They are not the virus. Rather they are the bodies that show the body is fighting or has fought a particular bacterium or virus. I am not a doctor but that is my take.
From Oxford Languages:
antibody: a blood protein produced in response to and counteracting a specific antigen. Antibodies combine chemically with substances which the body recognizes as alien, such as bacteria, viruses, and foreign substances in the blood.

Don't be suckered into believing anything from China, especially about this flu variant they have exported to the rest of the world. America is their prime target .In order to secure Chinese world dominance, America has to be brought down. They have willing accomplices in high places in this country who happily prefer a foreign bribe to loyalty to their own country and its Constitutional values.They are traitors of the worst kind, and they are legion.

To sum this article up. My wife and I had it when The Fauci said, it is a low, low, risk to the nation. Mild symptoms and China virus toes toward the end but no one we know did we give it to. We have friends in the last two months where spouse got it, again mild symptoms, but not the other. And in a state with 6.45 million 99.905% are still alive after almost a year of this "deadly" engineered disease?

You test positive and have no symptoms. Great, you're asymptomatic. But a few days later, you develop symptoms, and your previous condition is reclassified as presymptomatic. So it turns out that you really presymptomatic during the time that you were asymptomatic. That's the problem -- "asymptomatic" is only a temporary classification, except in hindsight.
The author says that you can spread Covid if you're presymptomatic. The Nature article didn't say anything about that.. But it does cite a NEJM article that says that presymptomatic patients are "most likely" infectious.

Look for the MSM to repress this study. The MSM wants hysteria. So does, or until recently did, the Democrats. Both the MSM and the Democrats stirred up so much hysteria about the COVID vaccine being dangerous that they have many people afraid to take it when it becomes available. They did this to discredit President Trump. It may end up biting them the arse and prolonging the pandemic.
