    Unfortunately, as an outgrowth of a @WHO statement and @CNBC coverage today there is still significant confusion about the asymptomatic story. Conflation with pre-symptomatic status. Let's first define these 2 groupspic.twitter.com/R52dsNSHB0

        There is ample evidence that presymptomatic people commonly infect others, like this one @NatureMedicine https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-020-0869-5 … by @gmleunghku and @hkumed colleaguespic.twitter.com/VosN44CCI3

        Our @AnnalsofIM paper zoomed in on 16 cohorts to partition the presymptomatics vs asymptomatics, which was done by serial assessment in many of these reports https://www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M20-3012 … and making a conservative estimate that ~40-45% of infected people don't (ever) develop symptomspic.twitter.com/TptCxmmFCm

        But the whether the people in this asymptomatic category (Asx) spread like those who have symptoms (or pre-symptomatics) is not determined. We only know the viral loads are similar from multiple reports. And we do know some spread occurs from ASx people.

        To provide meaningful data on the magnitude of transmissibility from asymptomatic people a prospective study would need to be done to quantify spread & ideally include: —contact tracing, forward and backward —culture of the virus —virus genomic sequence to precisely define route

        Key point for general public: at the time of contact, you cannot ascertain whether someone is pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic. Therefore, your behavior should be the same! #socialdistancing #wearmasks

        This distinction is the most important piece of information in processing what the WHO said today.
