According to ABC news reported on January 21, 2020, “one of China’s top health experts is warning of the potential for “super-spreaders” to worsen the impact of the new coronavirus strain” as they “confirm” person-to-person transmission.
“Zhong Nanshan, the leader of an expert team sent to the city of Wuhan to investigate the deadly virus, told the South China Morning Post there was evidence one patient alone had spread the disease to 14 medical workers.”
Two days later China’s CDC director stated, “There’s no evidence to support the idea there are already super-spreaders.”
On 26 January, China’s Health Minister Ma Xiaowei told the press that “people can spread it before they become symptomatic.”
A Super Spreader is a “phenomenon” where a healthy person, with no symptoms of illness (asymptomatic), is allegedly highly contagious. [1, 2]
This “potential” threat to the spread of the virus comes just 8 days after a “diagnostic tool” is released by the WHO, that “could” diagnose the asymptomatic “potential” spreaders of the virus – The PCR test.
The WHO recommends (thanks to Drosten et al) to set the test at 40-45 cycles, to diagnose infection of SARS-CoV-2 in all people both with symptoms or healthy.
In time, experts reveal that the PCR test used with greater than 35 cycles leads to 97% false positive results – the very people who are classified as asymptomatic super spreaders and labelled as COVID-19 case – statistically ill!
