Preliminary studies from Germany and the United States suggest that people with mild symptoms can be infectious for up to 8-9 days, and “it can be a lot longer for people who are more severely ill”, she said. “Some estimates of around 40 percent of transmission may be due to asymptomatic , but those are from models. So I didn’t include that in my answer yesterday but wanted to make sure that I made that clear,” she said.
“That means you could be in the restaurant feeling perfectly well and start to get a fever, you are feeling ok, you didn’t think to stay home, but that’s the moment at which your viral load could be actually quite high,” he said.
LJAT2014 Oh Sure....😂😂😂
Just like the all virus. The human body dont understand, so the viral load is higher!
I don't trust them
coronavirus
Trump knew!
The World Health Organization should be commended for the hard work of the World Health Organization.
Really !!! it took you that long time to figure this out, or now it is the time to mention that as part of your agenda and dirty plans.
CheetahPlains they should just spare us all and cone out and day that after 6 months they still know nothing abt this disease, its transmission or its cure
Does anyone still think that WHO is reliable organization?
Ahmed_Munifi You have no idea What is Coronavirus. Everyday you say new thing.
Geez. She and WHO absolutely do not know what the hell is going on when it comes to covid.
2of2.Bottomline:You may be symptomatic, pre-,or asymptomatic and contagious,potentially infect others.We can debate proportions later,however, this isn't peer reviewed scientific journal, it is important to clearly state this in simple digestible terms 4 the public to understand.
Covid is over. Nice try to bring it back
1of2. covid19 publichealth messaging should almost always state clearly that the situation is a dynamic of change. Is there any value added here? Does this pass the 'so what' test? It may confuse the public and undermine previous public health messaging.
WHO Magic 8 Ball Edition
Let’s see what they say tomorrow
Incompetent.
WHO should be scrapped - it has become defunct, corrupt and mouth piece of China.
Today is the first time I’ve heard the term “pre-symptomatic” in this alphabet soup of Covid related conditions. This narrative is getting real old and after 3 full months of “speculation” and “theories” it’s time to move FORWARD&change the language to something that makes sense
Fish swim
She must saying anything. Where the black man at
Did it take thousands of dollars to figure that one out?
Your toe hurts most right after you stub it. Wtf
AND: 'Some estimates of around 40 percent of transmission may be due to asymptomatic (cases).' Please get this out there--the statement yesterday was misleading!!
just buried body and bang the virus again
WHO looks 450mil thinner!
Let’s just admit we don’t have a clue and it would be best for everyone to take precautions. Maybe test some drugs that might help sick patients to get well (leronlimab), the get a vaccine developed.
Too late. Americans already have an immunity. Biden and Trump screw this up in the beginning
