On January 30, 2020 a case study report from Germany is published with Christian Drosten as one of the many “authority” authors, claiming transmission of the novel coronavirus occurred between an asymptomatic contact and infected another. This set off alarm, fear and panic around the world, triggering mass PCR testing, contact tracing of everyone and forced quarantining of the healthy – something never done before!
It was later revealed that the Chinese lady was actually sick when visiting Germany, but had used medicine to suppress her symptoms, so not actually asymptomatic – and it seems no one bothered to ask!
