That's a myth. People that spread the virus have symptoms (runny nose, cough). They're the primary spreaders of the disease.

Not testing positive isn't equal to asymptomatic.

Shag just said he tested negative for 3 days while displaying symptoms.

Which means he was capable of spreading the virus even though he was testing negative.

Twisted didn't say anything about displaying symptoms. He said people can test negative and still spread it (because they have symptoms).

Not sure I'm buying that either. The system is broken if fully symptomatic people are getting false negatives at anything higher than a 10% clip. That's a disaster. The whole point with using the PCR test was to reduce false negatives. False positives can be dealt with but routine false negatives (for three days) should mean that the tests are useless.

I don't necessarily disagree with that. Even said as much earlier.

The PCR has a 9% false-negative rate when tested early (first day of symptoms).
