      There is very high quality evidence that truly asymptomatic people make up a fairly small minority of cases. I discuss this all in my recent piecehttps://gidmk.medium.com/covid-19-can-be-spread-without-symptoms-eb69d505356e …

      You don't accept that a significant number of people who are 'asymptomatic' are simply not infected?

      That is a contradiction in terms

      If, as you claim, a very small number of healthy people can be infectious to others, surely, in the bigger picture then, it is one of your "non issues".

      Asymptomatic =/= healthy, that is just a very ignorant thing to say. Look up asymptomatic hepatitis if you do not believe me

      By that definition, nobody is ever 'healthy' in your terms are they?

      Lol mate, you just implied that, in response to the very well-evidenced fact that viral infections can be asymptomatic, I thought that no one could ever be healthy It was an absurd and illogical statement and I gave it the response it deserved 😂

      Nope, sorry mate - you were challenged to justify the assumption underlying your case and you failed, so you ridiculed me. Thats neither cool nor smart - give it one more try....
