There is no difference between the asymptomatic and the presymptomatic

security if one misunderstands the purpose.


I still need you to answer a simple sensible question based on logic:
o *How is the app gonna tell _YOU_ asymptomatics were in contact with YOU?*


When those they infect test positive and the app tells
you that because of that you should get tested.

Please read this before you respond:
o Nearly Half of Coronavirus Spread May Be Traced to People Without Any
Symptoms


Thats because they are PREsymptomatic, not permanently asymptomatic.


Also asymptomatic. That being said, shedding of newly created virus
particles could be called a symptom of hosting the virus while not
having the full-blown 'disease' associated with it.
