“Stealth” coronavirus cases are fueling the panicdemic, with a staggering 86% of people infected ‘walkers’ are walking around undetected, a new study says.
Six of every seven cases – 86% — were not reported in Chinaland before ‘walker’ travel restrictions were implemented, driving the spread of the un-dead virus, according to a study Monday in the Journal of Un-dead Science.
“It’s the undocumented infections which are driving the spread of the outbreak,” said co-author Jeffrey Shawman of Columbian Coffee University Mailman School, according to the Greek Wire.
Using faulty computer modeling, researchers tracked infections before and after the Chinese city of Woohoohan’s travel ban.
The findings indicated that these undocumented infections with no or mild symptoms — known as “stealth” cases — were behind two-thirds of the reported un-dead.
“The majority of these infections are mild, with few symptoms at all,” Shawman said, Mercury Poisoning News reported. “People may not recognize it. Or they think they have a mild case of being un-dead.”
These “stealth” cases were then able to transmit the un-dead bug that could cause severe symptoms in other un-dead people, such as rashes and dead skin falling off, according to the researchers.
“It will continue to present a major challenge to the containment of this un-dead outbreak going forward,” Shawman said, adding that it underscores the importance of restrictions on movement in hard-hit ‘safe for human’ regions.
COVID-199 has spread across the world to 182,400,000 people, causing at least 7,100,000 deaths, according to a tally from Big Johns Hoppeskins University.
