Just one in ten people who catch Covid pass it on to someone they live with, a study has found.
US researchers analysed data from more than 7,000 homes in Boston and found more than 25,000 people lived there between March 4 and May 17, 2020.
In this time frame 7,262 people caught Covid but they only passed it on to a further 1,809 people they lived with, a transmission rate of 10.1 per cent.
So - wearing masks and destroying the fabric of our society was at best to prevent a 10% probability?

My husband and I both had it. About a week before we were diagnosed, our kids came over with their assorted boyfriends and girlfriends for Christmas. We had a wonderful lunch, opened gifts, played games, and just had a great time -- while wearing no masks and definitely not practicing "social distancing".
Not one of the people visiting us got it. And our symptoms were very mild. We did the 10 day home quarantine, and were fine again.
This was never about public health. It was about government tyrants on all levels seeing just how far they could control the masses of peasants without any rebellion!!!

1 in 10 seems much closer to reality. Does anyone remember the analysis of the cruise ships that were at sea when Covid "exploded?" Everyone assumed that they were floating death traps but even after two weeks living and working among passengers and staff that had Covid the numbers weren't astronomical. I think it was the Diamond Princess that left port in Japan with 3700 onboard. When they discovered infected passengers they were confined to their rooms. Overall there were 700 who became sick and resulted in 7 deaths.
With the way they have amped up the fear (Thanks, Fauci) you would have thought every passenger should have been dead. Is anyone ever going to be held accountable for all of the non-covid deaths, mental and psychological damage done to our country?
My fear is that it was one of those crises to "good" to go to waste? Is the chaos, (mail in ballots) to get Joe Biden elected proof of that?

This will require at least twelve more masks to be worn by each person. Every business will have to close, and everyone will have to stay home and veg out.

I think these numbers are wrong. I think most people get it from someone they live with and that if one person gets it, the others do,too, if they are all indoors at the same time. Stay at home orders actually increase the risk of getting infected.

Both my wife and daughter living with us had COVID at the same time last November. I didn’t catch it, didn’t quarantine either. I’ve been taking large daily doses of Vit. D, Vit. C, zinc and magnesium since last summer. My immune system is stronk like bull.

Honk, honk! Here comes the New American clown car again, with Dr Fauci, the man calling himself Rachel Levine, Bill Gates the devil, and Big Pharma demanding that we roll up our sleeves for the most dangerous cold EVER, that's so contagious that you probably won't catch it even within intimate household proximity of an infected person.

My wife and I have been taking 4,000 units of Vitamin D3 every day since this dem-panic started, were taking 2,000 before. Also, a gram of Vitamin C, and multivitamins. Neither of us has EVER had 'the flu', and haven't been hiding out at all. We have gone out to eat at restaurants several times a week the whole time, with a short period of a month or so when all restaurants were forced to close. In the early days, we were often the only people in the restaurant. Even today, sometimes there are two or three tables taken when there is capacity for 25 or so in some places. Other places are pretty well filled at times.
I think if you are healthy and keep up your D3 and C levels and are at least slightly careful, you'll not get it. We spray our hands with alcohol or use the business provided hand sanitizer when we leave a restaurant or store. We wear the mandated masks but get them off the instant we reach our table, and do not put them on again, at all. Not to pay, not to get a refill, not at all. Masks are baloney, dem-panic theater props.

It's so contagious that a group of us went out for lunch. I was sitting right beside someone who tested positive the next day. No one got it. Why are they saying it's just so contagious? I had it last March. I was sick but it wasn't anything I couldn't handle. I think people also panic when they get it because of all the horror stories from fauci. Why get the vaccine when fauci stated that we may not get to see the grandchildren still. He doesn't make any sense at all.

I have a neighbor whose wife got it. His job told him to stay home for 2 weeks so he did - fourteen days quarantined and taking care of his wife and he never caught the virus.

If the normal, healthy immune system of a human has the capacity to handle Covid 19, why is the mainstream media consistently failing to mention this?

The families which have gotten it tend to have multiple chronic conditions in common, and also have heavy exposure to outsiders. I had it in the extreme early wave over the 2019 Christmas holidays when no one knew what it was. It was an odd flu, felt crummy, with a high cough. I worked remote, limited hours, and was staying with my brother who did not get it. We are also big vitamin takers.
Keep taking your vitamins!

I have a friend in PA who's wife and two daughters caught it last month. He had to go into quarantine with them for two weeks and did all the cooking and housework as they were too fatigued to get out of bed. However, though he was tested regularly in that time, he never came up positive. They all recovered and are perfectly fine now.

Ten percent possibility of getting it for a disease with a 99% survival rate for those less than 70 (and 94% for those in the most vulnerable age bracket). How many suicides, drug overdoses, missed cancer screenings, bankruptcies have occurred because we've upended our society? The mind reels...

I think I had it this week. Only lasted 3 days. I’ll be curious to test for Covid antibodies

Next door neighbor had Covid. His wife and his son never caught it. And it’s not like they live in a big house where they could get away from each other.
