awaythrower··on Covid-19: four fifths of cases are asymptomatic, China figures indicate
Yes. We shouldn't draw firm conclusions from sketchy data, although we should "play it safe" based on preliminary data. More creative, ethical, larger sample-size studies on transmission modalities need to be prioritized to focus remediation. Perhaps massive testing across the populace, symptom characterization and measuring virion shedding as directly as possible. If we don't know how it spreads or what kind of carriers spread it, fear and anxiety of the unknown will only compound the situation.
