Wouldn’t we already be seeing a huge spike from protests if they caused them? Protests started like 12 days ago

Asymptomatic spread of coronavirus is ‘very rare,’ WHO says

The coronavirus doesn’t spread easily through contaminated surfaces, CDC clarifies

so WHO playing games, more confused than a 5 year old.

The W.H.O. walked back an earlier assertion that asymptomatic transmission is ‘very rare.’

"A top expert at the World Health Organization on Tuesday walked back her earlier assertion that transmission of the coronavirus by people who do not have symptoms is “very rare.”
Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, who made the original comment at a W.H.O. briefing on Monday, said that it was based on just two or three studies and that it was a “misunderstanding” to say asymptomatic transmission is rare globally.

“I was just responding to a question, I wasn’t stating a policy of W.H.O. or anything like that,” she said.

Dr. Van Kerkhove said that the estimates of transmission from people without symptoms come primarily from models, which may not provide an accurate representation. “That’s a big open question, and that remains an open question,” she said.

Scientists had sharply criticized the W.H.O. for creating confusion on the issue, given the far-ranging public policy implications. Governments around the world have recommended face masks and social distancing measures because of the risk of asymptomatic transmission."

We had the LA marathon with 25,000+ participants back when the weather was cold, there were no masks being used and the r0 was over 3 and there wasn't a surge.

I'm sure cases will spike, but I'm going to wait until hospitalizations in Los Angeles start climbing significantly before I panic.

I protested twice in the past three days, but kept it to smaller groups of 40-50 so I could practice social distancing. I'm not ready for crowds of this size yet.
