      Journalists please ask WHO to clarify the "asymptomatic" claim in writing—not just repeat their unclear statement, but actually clarify—and to provide evidence. It's a very important question and the confusion has already done great damage.https://twitter.com/gmleunghku/status/1270127930136424449 …

      Absolutely agree with @CT_Bergstrom Case of poor risk comms and incomplete reading of the science. https://science.sciencemag.org/content/368/6491/eabb6936 … and https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-020-0869-5 … clearly show 35-44% of all infections were caused by presymptomatic shedding of index cases. https://twitter.com/CT_Bergstrom/status/1270105417838784512 …

      @Laurie_Garrett just did on #Inners #MSNBC She said it is people who may have only one or two symptoms like low fever, or headaches or loss of taste that are the spreaders we need to worry about.

      With all due respect, she is in no position to clarify what WHO meant. She's interpreting. WHO has to clarify.
