She didn't retract it, she clarified it....because of the reason I discussed.
She was sloppy when she addressed the Public and said "asymptomatic spread was rare". While technically correct, it was misunderstood. She should have said "transmission from people which never exhibit symptoms is rare." Because what people heard was "transmission from people who haven't started showing symptoms is rare. So if you aren't coughing or running a temperature feel free to do whatever you want and no need for a mask."
And this paper fails clarify on what the transmission is for presymptomatic people is.
Although this paper seems to be more focused on transmission setting, and if you're living with someone then presymptomatic doesn't really matter as it will eventually turn into symptoms they categorize into mild, moderate, and major.
