Asymptomatic transmission of COVID-19 didn’t occur at all, study of 10 million finds

The title of the news article is totally misleading!

Lest anyone think that the article proposes that lockdowns were unnecessary one should read with understanding the original research article.

Post-lockdown SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid screening in nearly ten million residents of Wuhan, China [LINK]

Abstract
Stringent COVID-19 control measures were imposed in Wuhan between January 23 and April 8, 2020. Estimates of the prevalence of infection following the release of restrictions could inform post-lockdown pandemic management. Here, we describe a city-wide SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid screening programme between May 14 and June 1, 2020 in Wuhan. All city residents aged six years or older were eligible and 9,899,828 (92.9%) participated. No new symptomatic cases and 300 asymptomatic cases (detection rate 0.303/10,000, 95% CI 0.270-0.339/10,000) were identified. There were no positive tests amongst 1,174 close contacts of asymptomatic cases. 107 of 34,424 previously recovered COVID-19 patients tested positive again (re-positive rate 0.31%, 95% CI 0.423-0.574%). The prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in Wuhan was therefore very low five to eight weeks after the end of lockdown.​

My conclusion is that this article supports a strong government response to the virus through total lockdowns.
The number of asymptomatic cases detected following the "stringent" lockdown were within the estimated range of false-positives.

So after two and a half months of total lockdowns, contact tracings on those that tested positive for the virus was performed.

300 out of almost 10M tested positive for the virus. These cases could represent false positive results.

So the research leaves us to question:

Were these false positives? If they were, we would not see any transmission of the virus.

Were they asymptomatic virus carriers? We would expect some to become symptomatic and there may have been a spread the virus (if they were allowed to have contact with others) .
​

Mask use in China is a practice that is common - even expected,

it's something new in the U.S. - and many (even you) are fighting against it.​

Furthermore this article is from China where the government has a far greater control over its people.
Can you imagine the reaction to a "stringent lockdown" in the United States? Anarchy! Rebellion!

Can you imagine a 92.9% participation rate in getting blood testing for the virus in the United States? That's the the force of Chinese government.
We don't do it that way in the U.S.

Among those posting on the BaptistBoard we have a far lower rate for those willing to get the vaccine.

I don’t want the vaccine because it was derived from research conducted on government murdered babies. Others can do what they like.

Paper and cloth masks are useless against a virus.

The social costs of the lockdowns are horrific. We see the upper class doing as they please. The lockdowns were administered politically, not medically.

 

Church Mouse, you live in a world that was derived from murdered people (Genesis 4:10-16), yet here you are.

Oddly enough, modern cancer cell research is founded upon cells taken/stolen from an unconsenting minority woman. You good with that?

Do what you like, justify your decisions, just don’t complain when the consequences of your decisions fall against you.

Rev, if you are only going to do what you want to do then stop posting articles that encourage governments to take strong responses to the virus!

Rob

 

Others may do as they please but no one should force this flu shot on anyone else as there is no legal basis that you have shown. Furthermore, no one has shown that this medical flu shot could not have been developed with research based on abortion although I concede that Mohler probably speaks for the majority of the SBC in accepting the flu shot.

 

Perhaps stating the definition for asymptomatic here would help. Is a person considered “asymptomatic” if it took a week or two for symptoms to appear, or only if symptoms never appeared? The difference is all important.

 

Don’t base any decision on communist propaganda. The study cannot be trusted.

peace to you

 

I had to go through respirator training. Respirators are much better than masks. Respirators do not cause you to re-breathe nearly as much Co2 as a mask does. If according to a govt mandated class Respirators:
Are unhealthy for long term use.
Should not be worn for long periods of time.
Cause us to re breathe Co2, which lowers out immune system and causes other health issues
Etc. Etc.
Then why does that all miraculously not apply when wearing a mask for Covid?

 

Rob, you are free to accept the flu shot. I never take them anyway.

You present no evidence about the usefulness of masks so my point is standing that paper and cloth masks are useless against a virus.

When the upper classes and state governors do as the please, then why force a lickdown on the poor? You do not refute the immense social costs if the lockdown.

 

Probably Biden will force masks and flu shots on everyone so businesses will be forced to comply. The people that I work around are that kind that you always did want to stay 6 feet away from.

It is just terrible having the flu. It is like a bad cold. Sometimes it takes a couple of days to get over covid. This epidemic shows the bad part about working around lower class people who don’t use soap and water even yet.

 

Sick people shouldn't be breathing on you in the first place. You wearing a mask is lowering your immune system. I hardly ever wear a mask, but if I do it's a N-95 that I have passed fit test for. It has an exhaust valve. It's protecting me.

 

Biden has already said that he will ask Congress to pass legislation mandating paper and cloth mask. He is a control freak because there is no medical evidence that such masks are effective against a virus. Governor Newson didn’t wear a mask at hie high-class dinner party.

It is therefore likely that Biden will try to pass legislation that you have to have a flu shot on order to be employed.

Did you know Stalin was born on December 18? No wonder Santa says what is not to like about Soviet communism!
