Yes, and I posted about this on my Facebook page as well. Reading the studies, but not knowing about the WHO "misstatement", it's been weeks that we have known that the most infectious of the spreaders have no idea that they have the virus. So the misstatement was based on nothing at all, or not keeping up, and quite dangerous to all.
The breakdown of the wide study that came out weeks ago, is that for 68% of the time that the average covid-19 victim is infectious, he has no idea that he even has the virus. Indeed, this average Covid-Joe is most infectious just 2 days after contracting the virus. The idea that both the asymptomatic and presymptomatic were the most infectious by the large margin should be uppermost in the mind of anyone speaking for WHO.
More insidiousness from Covid-19 comes from this study which looks at the "confusion", the under-reported delirium that is a symptom of covid-19 -- and until late, not recognized by many on medical staffs.
We find out that for somewhere around 42% of the virus' victims who do become symptomatic, one of their symptoms is delirium -- many hundreds of thousands if not millions of confused people armed with a deadly virus. The virus is creating confused spreaders. That 42% number comes out of the study, but the breadth of the study (71 subjects in one locale) calls for it to be verified and scrutinized. It's what we have to go on in the mean time.
First, our loved ones, neighbors, and passersby who catch it, do not understand that they are spreaders and may be dying, then once they are surely symptomatic, some significant many suffer delirium. Note too, that the delirium lasts in the mid period of the virus, while the infectiousness of the carrier is declining to near zero. This is between when the patient is asymptomatic and most infectious, and the later time period, when the sufferer may be most ill but not infectious.
