What we know about the risk of asymptomatic spread of coronavirus

The World Health Organization is walking back a comment suggesting that the spread of COVID-19 from an asymptomatic person is rare. Dr. Ashish K. Jha, director of the Harvard Global Health Institute, joins CBSN to discuss when patients are the most contagious, and a new Harvard Medical School study which suggests the coronavirus may have been in China as early as August.

You've destroyed any bit of credibility you had left. Nobody trusts anything you have to say.

If only CBS would pin this comment...(1:30)
The general population for some reason doesn’t reach the comprehending that is given by the chatter back and forth by the two.

When asymptomatic you have a lower viral load and are much less likely to spread it that someone presenting symptoms. Common sense.

Dr. Jha: "Yes, absolutely. There really isn't much debate about that." Yes absolutely you're an actor? Or, Yes absolutely you're lying to the masses? Oh wait, I forgot that an actor is technically not lying when he is acting!

“Maybe that’s a question you should ask CHINA.”

You read these comments? or do you think people believe anything you say. Dan Rather is spinning in his grave.

How many times does she have to say scary? Good grief this is so blatant. They will never stop until it is pandemonium in the streets.

[Free_Snooki]

Pretty bizarre to know that we could of potentially had around 60M more cases had we not closed everything down.

[mikemouers]

Y’all don’t know $hit!!!!
That’s what u know.

The number of woke people really brightens my day.

The crux of this asymptomatic business is the idea that if I feel fine then I'm asymptomatic. That "I feel fine" standard is so subjective as to be almost worthless.

We are left guessing, what exactly should we believe? All that matters is our lives!
