CDC's 'best estimate' is 40 percent COVID-19 infections are asymptomatic

A person with COVID-19 is still 'likely to infect' 2.5 other people

By Chris Ciaccia | Fox News

 

In updated guidance, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said its "best estimate" is that 40 percent of people infected with COVID-19 are asymptomatic.

In the update, posted July 10, the CDC said the basic reproduction number or the number of people one person "is likely to infect" is 2.5, and the infectiousness level of asymptomatic people is 75 percent, relative to symptomatic patients.

The government agency added a new part to its report, an "Infection Fatality Ratio," which "takes into account both symptomatic and asymptomatic cases and may therefore be a more directly measurable parameter for disease severity for COVID-19." The new metric states that 0.65 percent of those with COVID-19 are estimated to die.

 

In late May, the CDC estimated that 35 percent of patients could be asymptomatic, Fox News previously reported. In April, the CDC estimated some 25 percent of cases could be asymptomatic.

 

Asymptomatic COVID-19 patients are of great concern to public health officials and lawmakers due to their ability to spread the virus without knowing they're sick themselves.

In June, an official from the World Health Organization said that spread from asymptomatic patients appeared to be "very rare." The comments were walked back a few days later following criticism from many in the scientific community, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, who said the statement was "not correct."

how is online school a disaster? 

 

Well, at several districts in our area this past school year when they went to online classes, about 30% of the students according to my teacher friends actually were logged into lessons and/or completed their work.  The schools went to a no fail and in some cases no grades at all policy.  Now maybe with more preparation it will get a lot better this fall.

That is the hope, but I'm not seeing it from many districts' plans.  They are truly in a bind because there are so many inconsistent and conflicting directives that make it impossible to properly plan for next year.

Welp, all I can tell you is none of them ever tested positive for it.

 

I had the Chinese Flu. It was a bad flu. And my dear friend committed suicide due to lockdown. So I want nothing more than to hold the extended lockdown people responsible. I blame them.

I MAY have had it in February, had a horrible cough, fever and chills. But since it was before the great Kung flu panic, we'll never know.

Has there been any data on people getting infected more then once?

 

No data. Some sporadic reports. Safe to put that concern well on the backburner.

2 things about this... First, if there were, it would be the top story on every news channel because they couldn't help but to sensationalize it. Second, it sounds like they have been experimenting with platelets from people who have beaten it as a cure. That would be worthless if people didn't build an immunity.

This graph shows pneumonia and influenza (P&I) mortality data provided to CDC by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) Mortality Reporting System.

 

Trumpster and his evil R henchmen are fudging the death numbers.  I hear Florida is hiding the dead in sinkholes.

Needs to be a criminal investigation if they've told Doctors to stop prescribing HCQ. 

Why?  It has marginal, if any, efficacy here.  It’s kind of like a hoax treatment for the “hoax” virus.

And this was a "well-managed" state. Notice how the "well-managed" states all have the highest death totals?

 

Because they're so "well-managed."

 

It’s a real stunner that Cali has more deaths than Wyoming.

You just knew this was coming.  He's setting it up for his low info voters (and the media will oblige) that the excuse will be when the numbers go up, its because of Florida and California.  

 

This is the pandemic I'm supposed to take seriously.  Then they say things like this.

 

 

“You’re going to see our numbers and the Northeast numbers probably start to increase because the virus that you see now in the South and the West — California has real trouble — it’s going to come back here,” Cuomo said Friday in a radio interview. “It is going to come back here. It’s like being on a merry-go-round. It’s totally predictable. And we’re going to go through an increase. I can feel it coming. And it is so unnecessary and so cruel.”

Nice goalpost shift.   

 

So we moved in from a drug that will kill you to admitting it had marginal benefits?

 

That was quick.

You’re placing blame on people who are trying to prevent the spread? This whole story is bs. Not even funny. As a matter of fact this is disgusting. You should be banned for life.

Dude the guy lost a friend. Give him damn respect. 

 

 

Cannot lockdown without destroying people lifes. If you want a depression go for it if own you're own goverment. 

 

What people don't understand is, lockdown destroying people lifes as well. Might see more homeless people when lose everying.

 

Ya this virus needs to be taken for granted but as well as people jobs much  as well. Get used it. Creating problems within problems. No damn real solution.

You don't understand why a virus that first enters the densest part of the country would have its largest effect there?

Hey....you guys and the orange menace seem to think that the collateral deaths from opening the economy are cool...and as well the small number of kids and teachers that will die in reopening are statistically insignificant ...but collateral deaths from the lockdown are part of a communist plot to never Trump ....this man who died in the lockdown is a hero for America....areweright?

Except the virus did not first enter the densest area.  

 

But when the virus did enter the densest area, we were told to go to a parade and enjoy a dinner and a movie.

I wish it was bs. I have no idea what is supposed to be funny about it.

 

Thankfully, your opinion means nothing to me. You're just a main board liberal who was too much of coward to post in PPP under your regular name.

Look at this article about the Houston Chronicle. All over twitter they had a 43 page obituary section on Sunday due to the huge surge in cases. And here is the headline in Newsweek

 

https://www.newsweek.com/texas-newspaper-prints-43-page-obituary-section-coronavirus-deaths-soar-1517297

 

But here's the rub

 

Quote

The Houston Chronicle on Sunday printed a 43-page obituary section of 900 deaths in the state over the past six months, including deaths from COVID-19.

My lord, does the press have no shame anymore?

 

And i can almost guarantee the "covid party death, last words were I think i made a mistake " gaining steam is a fake as well...
