In reply to the discussion: Asymptomatic spread of coronavirus is 'very rare,' WHO says [View all]JudyM
(29,233 posts)39. The first I read about was out of China, very early on.
A guy sitting in the back of a bus that had a closed circuit camera that later verified that he never once sneezed, coughed or spoke with any of the other passengers, had no symptoms, yet got quite a few passengers sick, including some on the buss next run when he was long gone.
Then there was that chorus case, I dont recall that person being sick, either.
How did so many get sick so quickly in NY even after the virus was common knowledge? That many symptomatic people continued circulating in the public sphere? Doubtful.

Singing emits just as much as coughing. That's why churches are superspreaders. nt
