This data can be framed in the context of information presented with recent publications which document the asymptomatic spread in a community wherein viral shedding is equivalent between an individual who feels ill and is forced to isolate due to extreme symptomatology and an individual who feels well (i.e. does not know they are ill) and in turn may not isolate. Both individuals shed virus at equivalent levels, the danger to the community is the asymptomatic individual continuing to shed virus while potentially not maintaining basic measures of protection or limited contact.
This is a reminder to those in our community that it continues to be important to maintain physical distancing, masking, hand sanitizer, and similar measures while being alert as to the signs and symptoms of the viral infection.
