40% of people infected with COVID-19 have in common
Tip: It can be very difficult to detect.
A dry cough, fever, shortness of breath, fatigue and loss of sense of smell and taste are the most common symptoms associated with Covid-19. However, according to the CDC, one of the most frightening symptoms of coronavirus - because it is the most responsible for the spread of highly infectious and potentially fatal virus - is a little more difficult to identify.
According to new guidance from US Disease Control and Prevention Centers (CDC), highlighted as part of their Covid-19 Pandemic Planning Scenarios section on theCDC websiteThe current "better estimate" "is that about 40% of people infected with the virus show absolutely no symptoms of the disease of their estimate of 35% in May. They also pointed out that the number of asymptomatic cases remains uncertain.
According toA major studyThe main symptoms reported by coronavirus patients are fever (78%), cough (57%) and fatigue (31%).
Shine a light on asymptomatic people
A new new in the section is the ratio of fatality of infections. "IFR takes into account symptomatic and asymptomatic cases and can therefore be a more directly measurable parameter for the severity of Covid-19 diseases," he explains. Previously, they have only taken into account symptomatic cases as part of their mortality rate. Their scenario of "best current estimate" calculates the rate of infection at 0.65%, which means that 0.65% of people infected with the virus - including people with symptoms and those who will die there.
They also note on their graph that about half of the transmission occurred before becoming ill and showing symptoms, which is estimated 40% in May.
With regard to the transmissibility of the virus of the asymptomatic persons compared to people without symptoms, they estimate that 75% of their last estimate of 100%. However, they explain that "the relative infectious asymptomatic cases to symptomatic cases remains very uncertain because the asymptomatic cases are difficult to identify and that transmission is difficult to observe and quantify."
You can spread COVID-19
