according to what they said in the WHO presser, even more than that

it's 1% that are initially asymptomatic when tested positive, and a majority of those go on to develop symptoms later

this doesn't totally square with common knowledge up to this point so some grains of salt are probably called for but i suppose it's basically good news if true

the bad news is that the 2-3% death rate is actually accurate if you do happen to catch it then; the number isn't being inflated by a lack of testing for asymptomatic people

and sure, if there were symptom-less carriers it'd spread easier, but it already has the benefit of being contagious before symptoms begin

Isn't that...bad news? Am I reading this reversed? Isn't it a bad thing that 99% of people infected end up being symptomatic? It makes them easier to find but drat, that's a huge chunk out of the work force no?

i think they're saying there's not a huge number of asymptomatic carriers out there. not necessarily that it is more infectious than previously thought

but really we can't know any of this for certain until it's all over and we're looking back at it :shrug:

It’s funny how some people were seriously suggesting poo poo like that when the general reaction in China is more like “gently caress the incompetent local government in Wuhan and thank god the central government stepped in and sorted this out”.

Six people are dead from the virus as of today. You can get all your jollies and laughs you want from that, but I think it's sick and you're sick for joking about it.

Six people, most of them older with families and lives. I mean I guess if you're a loving psychopath you can just file them away as 'oh no some olds died, boo hoo... who cares'.

Those people had families, children, grand children, etc. gently caress off if you think it's funny that they're dying because of a virus that's turning into a pandemic from complete government inaction and missteps.
