[ link to alachuachronicle.com (secure)] 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." Quoting: Bloody Peasant! BUT it says this at the end: Conclusions The findings of this study suggest that households are and will continue to be important venues for transmission, even where community transmission is reduced. Prevention strategies, such as increased mask-wearing at home, improved ventilation, voluntary isolation at external facilities, and targeted antiviral prophylaxis, should be further explored.
