Asymptomatic spread of coronavirus is ‘very rare,’ WHO says 

>Coronavirus patients without symptoms aren't driving the spread of the virus, World Health Organization officials said Monday, casting doubt on concerns by some researchers that the disease could be difficult to contain due to asymptomatic infections.

>Some people, particularly young and otherwise healthy individuals, who are infected by the coronavirus never develop symptoms or only develop mild symptoms. Others might not develop symptoms until days after they were actually infected.

>Preliminary evidence from the earliest outbreaks indicated that the virus could spread from person-to-person contact, even if the carrier didn't have symptoms. But WHO officials now say that while asymptomatic spread can occur, it is not the main way it's being transmitted.

>"From the data we have, it still seems to be rare that an asymptomatic person actually transmits onward to a secondary individual," Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, head of WHO's emerging diseases and zoonosis unit, said at a news briefing from the United Nations agency's Geneva headquarters. "It's very rare."

>Government responses should focus on detecting and isolating infected people with symptoms, and tracking anyone who might have come into contact with them, Van Kerkhove said. She acknowledged that some studies have indicated asymptomatic or presymptomatic spread in nursing homes and in household settings.

>More research and data are needed to "truly answer" the question of whether the coronavirus can spread widely through asymptomatic carriers, Van Kerkhove added.

@judgedread @realcaseyrollins I was considering some sort of "tutorial mode" but I don't think I'll have time for that in the initial release
@shebang @mewmew @realcaseyrollins yeah they believed that black people were the offspring of Ham and therefore cursed to wander the earth and never enter the realm of heaven. They backtracked on that recently though.

They also posthumously baptized all the known holocaust victims as Mormons, including Anne Frank, and the Jews did not care for that. They promised to stop but were caught a few times doing it anyways afterwards. They also posthumously baptized Helen Keller and other famous figures they deem "worthy".

Picture this: you're in Heaven, with all the angels and God and shit, harp music in the air, then all of a sudden a portal opens and you're sucked in. Now you're on a planet, and a man surrounded by bashful women approaches you. "Hi, I'm Elder Wilson, and i'm the God of this world. You've been baptized as a Mormon but because you weren't an Elder, you're assigned to my planet to serve me and my wives. Lucky you, it must have been Hell on the other side lol"
@mewmew @realcaseyrollins Newt Gingrich exposed Mitt Romney for the corporate jackal he really is. If Mitt Romney had won, he'd have finished selling the US to China and retired to the Bahamas to sleep on a mattress stuffed with cash by now, while the last remnants of middle class America starved to death. Any time you start getting fooled into thinking Mitt Romney is an ok guy just watch this short film again:

@realcaseyrollins he's rude and abrasive, but the BLM slogan is kinda dumb, ge's got a point there. Apparently black lives only matter when they're murdered by the police; if they're murdered by another black person or during a BLM riot nobody gives a shit.

@realcaseyrollins You can’t be racist against mayos. Racism is prejudice plus institutional power.

PEOPLE

LISTEN

The solution to racism against blacks is NOT to be racist against whites!!!

Potentially NSFW 

why are you even talking about it!

fediblock 

@realcaseyrollins @ArtistMarciaX @OCRbot Yea I shouldn't have said that. I'm on edge (same as the planet; no excuse). I usually just ignore stuff from that instance. I heard he's might be leaving fedi and that would be sad because I do like the diversity of ideas. Still, if he hasn't grown since 2019, I stand by the racism thing. .. piece of shit was a low blow. Sorry.

Death is all around us. That's alarming!
