The term "asymptomatic transmission" has been buzzing around as scientists attempt to determine how people with mild to no symptoms of COVID-19 are contributing to the global spread of the virus.
"In the language that I speak, asymptomatic really means asymptomatic," he said, explaining the term could be misused because it refers to zero symptoms and would not include those with mild symptoms that also don't require medical care.
While people presenting mild to no symptoms would generally be weaker transmitters of a virus, Bogoch said a group of them could be trouble. Dr. Gerald Evans, an infectious disease specialist at Kingston General Hospital in Kingston, Ont., said knowing the number of cases that are presenting mild to no symptoms could help us further understand the virus in many ways.
Then test everybody so they know if they have it or not!!
Covid to last 2 years like this total decimation of economy and most going bankrupt
You don't need a mask if you STAY HOME.
Wear masks!!!!!! Ffs
The experts were the ones who lied about masks and travel bans not working. Why trust them at all?
Like you're just printing this now? This was known in January. Oh right that was the Trump impeachment and Canadians are racist time, who has time for real news
Thanks Capt. Obvious!
May?
What’s the name/s of the expert?
This is very already clear at end of January!!! Anyone have use common sense knows. How many we still have to pay to let decision-makers know this?! If..... If.....
This is compounded by a test program that lacks capacity which is justified by great excuses & indicating “all the other countries in the world” have the same problem. Many Doctor’s Patients with serious illness are being sent home without a test because they only check 2 boxes”
This isn't about masks or testing it is about personal distancing. Stay home. Wash your hands. You don't need expensive wipes, bleach works better. Stay 6 feet away or you could put someone feet under. Think beyond yourself.
No shit great reporting CTV
The answer is clear: test test test
We need to wear masks in the public indoor area, especially when we are doing grocery shopping!

This isn't news!!! Btw
The government needs to enforce rules that EVERYONE who is in public MUST wear a facemask until this threat is over ! cdnpoli covid 19
Wake up, sheeple.
Asian culture that’s who they need to be dealt with
What do you think the masks for civilians for? It's for containing the spread of covid-19 from those who have mild or no symptoms not for protecting yourself!!!
That's Trudeau's fault because he doesn't enforce testing EVERYONE.
Then start mass testing everyone. Stop messing around and get it done. Stop throwing billions of $$$ out there for months upcoming and fund more test kits and PPE. Once we know who is positive and negative, we can send people back to work and the rest can get treated.
Washing hands, Wearing mask and keep social distance together can help slow down spreading. Can save a lot of lives ALSO.
Enforce people to stay home even more people aren’t listening
Amazing insight. How do I get to be an “expert”?
Testing!!
Without being tested how would you know you have it? So reporting this is not feasible
Everyone should be tested. Period.
Water is wet: experts
That is why everyone should wear masks and if possible be tested.
Must be another slow day in the news. Old new is all that CTV has.
Yes the 95% of the world that won't even know they have this virus are the culprits. Let's create a nightmare to bring us all together! Let's unite in fear!
Umm, obviously.
Duh
They've been saying that since January
