Even without symptoms of Covid, you can infect these many people, says CDC
A new study proves that you do not need symptoms to infect scores of people with coronaviruses.
The problem withCoronavirus supersfeaders Is it that most of the time, you do not know that you are one until it's too late. In fact, some other cords are asymptomatic, which means they do not know they have coronavirus at all. As a result, they tend to behave as usual, which they spread the virus to more people than the average individual. But so many people could you infect without even having a hunch that you are sick? According to new research on disease control and prevention centers (CDC),A carrier has recently extended coronavirus to at least 71 people in its community, all without feeling no symptoms of the virus.
The CDC recently published aCase study on this occurrence, which took place in the province of Heilongjiang in China. Although the area had not recorded new cases of coronavirus since mid-March on 9 April, there was suddenly four new cases confirmed. This took only until April 22 to reach a 71 new case in the region. After testing the viral genomes of all infected persons, the Chinese CDC concluded that all these casesNative to one carrier.

According to the case study, the woman in question had recently returned home in China after visiting the United States and was invited to quarantine on arrival. She does not run any symptoms at that time, however, she quickly spread the virus to friends, neighbors and family members with whom she had varying degrees.
A neighbor has become infected without seeing the woman at all. They both used the elevator of their building, but never at the same time, which means that the virus was probably transmitted by aContaminated button or viaparticles suspended in the air.
"Our results illustrate how a single SARS-COV-2 asymptomatic infection could result in generalized community transmission," concludes the CDC.
