A recent study involving 1,089 participants found that 52.9% were asymptomatic ... link https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0311287 or https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0311287 ; ConclusionA year after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in Arkhangelsk, Northwest Russia, 59.7% 95% CI (56.7; 62.6) of the surveyed adult population aged 40–74 years had been infected by SARS-CoV-2. Symptomatic cases comprised 47.1% 95% CI (43.2; 51.0) of the total infected, and 8.6% 95% CI (6.6; 11.1) of those previously infected were hospitalized. Our findings indicated a high proportion of asymptomatic cases that remained undetected by the healthcare system. The asymptomatic COVID-19 cases were unaware that they had been infected and might have continued their usual activities spreading the infection to others. This could have resulted in the rapid COVID-19 transmission and unsuccessful disease control. Since the asymptomatic COVID-19 patients are difficult to be diagnosed, a wider testing of high-risk populations should be performed regardless of symptoms to improve the control strategies. Combining different surveillance approaches could prevent future outbreaks by capturing silent infection spread. DJ, So based on identified cases being a certain % the idea is there must be a realistic estimate on unidentified cases...translating that number to global cases-in humans... DJ-I am not an expert-do not know what to think of this claim; however; -Very likely lots of CoViD cases (certainly in 2024) go without any testing... -Non-human cases may run in the "millions" So -my non expert view- CoViD is 99% out of control...With some variants/reinfections resulting in more long term damage... "Politics look the other way"...
