    Carl T. Bergstrom Retweeted CNBC

    A misleading @CNBC story about a rather unclear @WHO statement is making the rounds today. It seems to suggest that people without symptoms don't spread COVID19. Does this mean shoppers, students, protesters, etc., don't need masks/ distancing? No.https://twitter.com/CNBC/status/1270057840774983683 …

        The details get a bit tangled and to my dismay not all data are made available, but in short the @WHO statement pertains to "truly asymptomatic" people who never show classic symptoms, not to pre-symptomatic people who we know can transmit days before showing symptoms.

        Even if truly asymptomatic spread is very rare, pre-symptomatic transmission is likely to be important. We still need to wear masks and distance to avoid spreading the virus during this period, probably concentrated in days 3-6 after infection.

        Nor am I convinced by the data that @WHO provide as evidence that asymptomatic transmission is very rare. Their relevant quote is below. This is thin evidence for such a policy recommendation. The other data they allude to have not been released to the best of my knowledge.pic.twitter.com/u7vXkuXD6j

        What we've ended up with here is public health by press release (making recommendations without providing the underlying data and analysis) coupled with poor communications (failing to clearly explain that they are not talking about pre-symptomatic transmission) on @WHO's part.

        CNBC then took that confusing report, read too much into it, and slapped on a totally incorrect and sensationalist headline—"Coronavirus patients without symptoms aren’t driving the spread of the virus, the WHO says". The result is the confusion we are seeing around this today.

        This post is going to mislead many people and is based on flawed evidence due to how it was collected. Sadly it's not the 1st time WHO is putting out poor information. I'll explain. https://twitter.com/mvankerkhove/status/1270081492908216320 …
