    Isnt the incubation period up to 14 days? Do I really need to explain this to y’all? I mean there’s plenty of information you can just look up for yourself.

    First of all, I haven't stated that asymptomatic transmission is a major problem. I have posted that I wear a mask due to the people that I work with on a daily basis being at a higher likelihood for testing positive for COVID (inmates in county jail, etc.) and I don't want to take the chance of spreading it just in case.

    Second, what the WHO and CDC are saying is that by the very definition of what is an asymptomatic person is it is very difficult to determine if they are transmitting it. Why, because it is more than likely a person doesn't know that they are infected unless for some reason they had to get a COVID test. Both organizations stress that further studies need to be done.

    For example, a study published in August 2020 seemed to indicate asymptomatic patients had as large of a viral load in their noses, throats, and lungs as patients who were infected with the coronavirus and developed symptoms of Covid-19 and carried the virus for nearly as long as persons who developed symptoms.

    Clinical Course and Molecular Viral Shedding Among Patients With SARS-CoV-2 Infection

    That could be evidence that asymptomatic transmission is occurring at a rate that is certainly more than "very rare." Or it could be mean nothing and the study is an outlier.

    What I take issue with is your term "very rare" that even the WHO backed away from. It is simply not accurate. The simple truth is we do not yet know how prevalent asymptomatic transmission is, but we do know that it is certainly possible. 36 million confirmed worldwide cases, a number that is certainly much higher as there are people who have had it and never got tested, is certainly a lot in a little under a year.

    You can take issue with whatever you want but I am saying that exact thing. Literally saying there isn’t enough evidence to say asymptomatic transmission happens/is a problem. I responded to a post from someone saying it’s clear it’s a problem because the titans have 23 cases. But sure take issue with what I posted lol

    I’ve talked about it plenty. Go back and read the posts if you’d like.

    Now you backpedal? Come on. How did so many Titans test positive? In only see two ways... Either the virus can spread asymptomatically, or players with symptoms were still involved in team activates. Is there a third way? Please enlighten us since you're so confident champ.

    The incubation period is 14 days??? What are you implying with that?

    How am I backpedaling? 14 days from the first player positive would be this upcoming Monday. I mean even if you went back to Bowen’s test it would he this Saturday.

    I mean seriously the team reported guys had symptoms. Is this really that hard to understand?
