Pretty much.
We're still learning. It's also kinda depending on wording. True asymptomatic may be more rare than we think it's just that symptoms are so little we don't notice. Technically, thats not asymptomatic. |

I read an interesting quote the other day, unrelated to Covid in general... "the goal of science is not to prove any position, but to collect evidence and draw conclusions based on whatever the data says". Science isn't "pick a side early on with relatively little info and use confirmation bias to prove you were right until the end of time," like most people.... conclusions are drawn on the data given and conclusions change as the data changes. Science gives no ****s about anyone's agenda or "being right". The downside is that the media certainly does, so what's actually said by scientist, which might be "the data shows asymptomatic people could be spreading Covid, based on the number of new infections" turns into a news story "YOU'RE SPREADING COVID AND DON'T EVEN KNOW IT!!!" |

I had some congestion and a very mild sore throat but that’s allergies to me. So I considered myself asymptomatic with a positive test. I just had similar symptoms last week but my allergies are terrible right now. |

I had several people jump on me about questioning asymptomatic spread and the Sweden study that found that children are not good vectors for spreading covid. There is a metric shit ton of conflicting info on this stuff so to bash people who question some things makes zero sense as we are once again seeing. |

As has been said some here though that we all need to remember, there's alot of stuff out there thats pre print that hasn't been looked at from a peer review standpoint that can be pretty easily destructed simply based on methods. We all want this to get figured out one way or another. |

In the first peer-reviewed analysis of local, regional and national policies, the researchers found that travel restrictions, business and school closures, shelter-in-place orders and other non-pharmaceutical interventions averted roughly 530 million COVID-19 infections across the six countries in the study period ending April 6. Of these infections, 62 million would likely have been “confirmed cases,” given limited testing in each country. |
