No asymptomatic spread?

@jolly
Beauregard, it doesn't matter how I get my information, but you're right on that when I do get my information, I'll have no truck at all with reactionary Christian organisations' websites or publications such as Lifesite News. -
and now ill take you to task for the content of the nature article vs what the "Christian webiste" says....
the CW implies from the nature article that "thus undermining the need for lockdowns, which are built on the premise of the virus being unwittingly spread by infectious, asymptomatic people."
of course the nature article implies the exact opposite. the nature article's main premise is that the lockdown in wuhan was so efficient that after it was opened up, in a check of 10,000,000 million residents, only 300 asymptomatic infected patients were discovered.
the study is about mass screening following lockdowns (which are considered essential ) and how it can impact the health regulators decisions on further planning.
so you see, the so called CW did a very unchristian thing in taking a well researched and referenced paper in a high impact journal and purposely twisting the data to give an opposite impression.
you trust in the scriptures as a strong evangelical believer?
i would think the authors of that website should reread Exodus 20:16 (you know im an OT type of guy...)
"Thou shalt not bear false witness..."

if you need another study, try this one from the proceedings of the national academy of science
So get your panties out of a wad, doc.
while im removing my wadded panties, im also checking the JAMA meta analysis
again, you misread the point of the study.
this meta analysis (a meta analysis tries to pool data from other studies, which because of heterogeneousness, can cause problems of interpretation, but be that as it may..) of 54 studies looks at factors in specifically household transmission, as opposed to community transmission.
among the factors it notes, symptomatic transmission is more prevalent than asymptomatic transmission. well,duh....no one thinks otherwise, very long way from saying "Asymptomatic transmission of COVID-19 didn’t occur at all" as the CW headline shouts.
in other words, again i say
Thou shall not bear false witness.....
and now my panties are finally folded and put away neatly
PS the false witness is directed at the CW site of course, not you personally

Indeed I am attacking the website. However, bach has more than sufficiently excoriated the website in all its mendacities for me to add further comment.

Once again, you're attacking the website, without saying a word about the studies. Is that willful ignorance or just snobbery? The studies referenced are not religious in any way.

@renauda said in No asymptomatic spread?:
Whether it's ignorance or snobbery or just plain old anti-clericalism is irrelevant. I am attacking it for precisely the same reason bach laid bare its false witness of the study. Full stop.
Then you are as much of a fruitcake as anything you accuse them if being. You may not like Christianity, or you can despise the views of a website that promotes human life. But do not let your venom dissuade you from reviewing non-biased data.
That's the bottom line.

It’s easy: next time you want people to focus on the data or the underlying study, just post that study.
Unless you actually want people to read that website’s (mis)interpretation of the data, why link to that website at all? Just link straight to the data from the get go and you would not need to tell people to review the data like you do now.
-
I think the point is that the article originally posted is willfully misleading and potentially very dangerous.
Enough people have died of this awful disease already without more misinformation being spread. These so-called Christians should be ashamed of themselves.

First thing I saw, so first thing I linked. The article had a direct link to the study.
