[b]Where is the science[/b] that says that those who are not vaccinated, and DO NOT have any symptoms can be contagious for 3 days BEFORE they have symptoms and be carriers of the virus?
[b]Show me. NO, I'm not kidding. [/b]
I am hearing that people are "hearing this" and I want the science and if you know where you heard this and will post it kindly for me, I would appreciate it. I think it's a load of 💩
A study of 94 patients in China showed that viral load peaked shortly after the onset of symptoms, indicating that people may actually be more infectious in the days before they become ill and before the immune system has a chance to kick in. Another study, which looked at 77 pairs of individuals in which one person infected the other, found that contagiousness both began and peaked before the first symptoms of illness — 2.3 days and 0.7 days respectively. Those researchers concluded that about 44 percent of COVID-19 infections spread from person to person before symptom onset.*
I'm not a scientist, but especially at the start of this mess, they were largely operating on. anecdotal evidence.
For instance, if someone is identified as a contact of someone who tested positive and that person shows no symptoms, but three or four people where they live or work test positive and no other source can be found, I couldn't publish a paper about it but I would ask the suspect to be tested.
