Epidemiologists have the 80/20 Rule. 20% of people cause 80% of disease spread; some of those are #asymptomatic carriers. Are people with no symptoms out there spreading #coronavirus? 👇👇👇 Sources & More down here 👇👇👇 ✨I’m on Patreon! ✨ http://patreon.com/tracedominguez Every new patron causes a litany of excited squeals. Thank you for all your support 💕 Asymptomatic carriers of COVID 19 are people without symptoms that could be spreading this pandemic around the country. #MoreResearchIsNeeded to find out the facts, but in the meantime do you know what #presymptomatic and #asymptomatic mean? Can people with no symptoms spread the novel corona virus? Do you have #COVID-19 in your system even without showing it?

Here's What We Know https://www.sciencealert.com/here-s-what-we-know-so-far-about-those-who-can-pass-corona-without-symptoms At least one-third of the world is under some type of lockdown because of the coronavirus pandemic, as governments urge social distancing to stymie the virus' spread. That's because the COVID-19 virus is insidious. What We Need to Understand About Asymptomatic Carriers if We’re Going to Beat Coronavirus https://www.propublica.org/article/what-we-need-to-understand-about-asymptomatic-carriers-if-were-going-to-beat-coronavirus ProPublica’s health reporter Caroline Chen explains what the conversation around asymptomatic coronavirus carriers is missing, and what we need to understand if we’re going to beat this nefarious virus together. Implications of asymptomatic carriers for infectious disease transmission and control https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5830799/ For infectious pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae, some hosts may carry the pathogen and transmit it to others, yet display no symptoms themselves. These asymptomatic carriers contribute to the spread of disease but go largely undetected and can therefore undermine efforts to control transmission. Understanding the natural history of carriage and its relationship to disease is important for the design of effective interventions to control transmission. Asymptomatic infection is the rule, although rare cases may exhibit exudative pharyngitis and cervical lymphadenopathy. https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/nursing-and-health-professions/asymptomatic-infection Asymptomatic infection (i.e., seropositivity without disease) of human primate workers with herpes B virus, including most of those who had histories of bites and scratches, has not been detected.14,15 Most human infections have been reported from animals without any symptoms. Estimating the asymptomatic proportion of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases on board the Diamond Princess cruise ship, Yokohama, Japan, 2020 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7078829/ On 5 February 2020, in Yokohama, Japan, a cruise ship hosting 3,711 people underwent a 2-week quarantine after a former passenger was found with COVID-19 post-disembarking. As at 20 February, 634 persons on board tested positive for the causative virus. We conducted statistical modelling to derive the delay-adjusted asymptomatic proportion of infections, along with the infections’ timeline. The estimated asymptomatic proportion was 17.9% (95% credible interval (CrI): 15.5–20.2%). Mary Mallon (1869-1938) and the history of typhoid fever https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3959940/ Mary Mallon was born in 1869 in Ireland and emigrated to the US in 1884. She had worked in a variety of domestic positions for wealthy families prior to settling into her career as a cook. As a healthy carrier of Salmonella typhi her nickname of “Typhoid Mary” had become synonymous with the spread of disease, as many were infected due to her denial of being ill. She was forced into quarantine on two separate occasions on North Brother Island for a total of 26 years and died alone without friends, having evidently found consolation in her religion to which she gave her faith and loyalty. Scientists get a handle on what made Typhoid Mary's infectious microbes tick https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2013/08/scientists-get-a-handle-on-what-made-typhoid-marys-infectious-microbes-tick.html Music by Epidemic Sound: http://epidemicsound.com/creator Love you, #nerdfam!
