Since the coronavirus has arrived for the first time, scientists and medical experts have done research on how the pandemic is transmitted and is most at risk. The focus has been on infected patients who showCommon symptoms"White fever, cough and loss of taste and smell, resulting in global security measures, such as self-quarantine,social distancing, andwearing face masks. However, research now shows that another much broader group is much more dangerous than those we know are infected: asymptomatic people. In fact, according to a new study, 80% of coronavirus cases are asymptomatic.

A May study, which has been published inThorax, watched acruise ship which carried 217 passengers and members of the crew toDetermine how Covid-19 is spreading. The research revealed that 128 people who tested positive, 104 (or about 81%) did not expose any symptoms.

This number is a huge jump of what has been reported so far. Disease control and prevention centers (CDC), for example, believe that only35% of infections are asymptomatic. This means that the asymptomatic transmission can be a more important threat than the experts had originally predicted, especially in confined spaces, such ashouseholds, offices, hospitals, retirement homes and prisons.

"We think that a lot of this is considered a science, but I think there are still many questions that we have onAsymptomatic transmission occurs and the circumstances that occurs "AMESH ADALJA, an expert infectious disease and a senior scholar to theJohns Hopkins Health Security Center, RecountInternal business community.

Another study may involve testing 78 patients infected in Wuhan, China and found that33 of them (or 42%) were asymptomatic. Researchers also discovered that Asymptomatic Asymptomatic individuals from more than 26 to 45 and women (nearly 67% were women). The good news? Asymptomatic people were contagious for three to 12 days, compared to 16 to 24 days in patients with symptoms.

But simply because these so-called "silent spreaders" have not been contagious for so long, does not mean they are harmless. In a statement published inNew England Journal of Medicine, researchers from the University of California, said San Francisco: "Asymptomatic transmission [COVID-19] is Achilles' heel of America's current public health strategy surrounding symptom-based projections.

This confirms the importance of population-wide tests - especially asStates are starting to reopen-In the order of knowing exactly how many people can be widespread without knowing coronavirus and where epidemics can be hidden not detected. It also emphasizes how essential it iswearing face masks and practicesocial distancingeven if you do not feel sick.
