Gone communal: "Authorities also confirmed two more cases: a doctor in his 50s who works at a hospital in western Japan and a man in his 20s who lives in Chiba, near Tokyo. None had a record of travelling abroad in recent weeks or contacts with Chinese nationals – a possible sign that the virus is spreading inside the country." https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/feb/13/japan-reports-first-coronavirus-death-as-44-more-cases-confirmed-aboard-cruise-ship https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/feb/13/japan-reports-...

The virus can spread between asymptomatic hosts for as long as 8 days before showing signs of infection.

  Most of those claims have been walked back, as far as I know. There were initial reports that the virus can be spread asymptomatically, but since then there has been more skepticism about the data around those claims. Right now I don't think anyone knows for sure if the virus can be spread in asymptomatic hosts or not.

    Was the German claim walked back? What about the folks in Japan right now? Doubt is good, but asymmetric doubt is foolish.

      The German claim was walked back - the original authors didn't interview the actual person they were claiming were asymptomatic.

    Because what can not be allowed to be real, can not be. Its cancel cultures final act, denial of reality and then death of those afflicted with it by it.
