    I’m skeptical too. This sounds like a really strong and premature statement to be making without the data it’s based on having been published and thereby made available for other scientists to review, and you know the #COVIDIOTS are going to run wild with this.https://twitter.com/CT_Bergstrom/status/1270067622135005184 …

    This would be an absolute game changer for our modeling work on prevention strategies. It appears there are data behind this but I am unaware of them having been released. Does anyone have any knowledge of where these data may be available? https://www.cnbc.com/2020/06/08/asymptomatic-coronavirus-patients-arent-spreading-new-infections-who-says.html …

        Also, more on this. Perhaps @WHO is distinguishing between presymptomatic and asymptomatic, but if it is it's really confusing matters more than clarifying. We need to see the data!https://twitter.com/ashishkjha/status/1270069131652427776?s=20 …

        This from @WHO is getting a lot of attention and creating confusion. I want to quickly share what I understand about this. Bottom line question: Are infected people without symptoms an important cause of spread? My best guess: yes. A thread https://twitter.com/CNBC/status/1270057840774983683 …

        How do you tell the difference between an asymptomatic person and a pre-symptomatic person?

        Indeed. And what does she mean by "rare"? How much less likely is a person with asympomatic/presymptomatic #COVID19 to transmit the virus than someone who's symptomatic?
