Most People Will Not Remain Asymptomatic While Infected

The findings of a new living systematic review published by PLOS on September 22, 2020, suggest that most people who become infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus .... 'will not remain asymptomatic throughout the course of the infection.'

These researchers stated: 'the findings from systematic reviews, including this new one, do not support the claim that a large majority of SARS-CoV-2 infections are asymptomatic.'

These researchers estimated that, across all study settings, the proportion of SARS-CoV-2 infections that are asymptomatic throughout the course of infection is 20% (95% CI 17%–25%).
