"asymptomatic/presymptomatic secondary attack rate is not statistically different from zero" [/quote] That's what the website that linked the JAMA study claimed. When you read the actual JAMA study it says no such thing. It does say transmission rates are lower. Of course they will be lower. Asymptomatic and presymptomatic people aren't coughing every 5 seconds. [/quote]

From the published article in JAMA
"asymptomatic/presymptomatic secondary attack rate is not statistically different from zero"
"Four researchers from the University of Florida Department of Biostatistics co-authored a study published online by the Journal of the American Medical Association"
"The secondary attack rate for symptomatic index cases was 18.0% (95% CI 14.2%-22.1%), and the rate of asymptomatic and presymptomatic index cases was 0.7% (95% CI 0%-4.9%), “although there were few studies in the latter group.” The asymptomatic/presymptomatic secondary attack rate is not statistically different from zero, and the confidence interval is technically 0.7 ± 4.2, resulting in a range of -3.5%-4.9%, but attack rates cannot be negative, so it is truncated at 0."
