@Cactusali

A case is someone who has symptoms. Lots of positive cases are asymptomatic

Sorry that should be TESTS in the second sentence. Wine has been taken ....

Thanks @Cactusali

I struggle to believe in this huge number of asymptomatic tests. I well believe some people are getting LFT then PCR while asymptomatic, but not that none of them develop symptoms. DN was in a student flat of 8; 7 of them caught covid and all had symptoms, DN didn't and had multiple negative tests (immune unicorn? lucky?). Many other cases in the uni flats block, mostly poorly for a few weeks and a few for much longer; DN didn't know anyone who had it and didn't get some symptoms. Friend had hefty symptoms for 4 weeks despite 2 jabs (under 2 weeks after second jab). I know, and know of, many people who've had covid - and I know of nobody who had a positive test with no symptoms, not one; some had mild symptoms but zero had none. I simply can't believe it isn't a Daily Mail fairytale.

The only thing making it a little better is the ridiculously low cases age 65+ everywhere and half term.

And better weather that should drive people outdoors.

I do mrex. My friend was completely symptom free when she got a positive result. She did go on to be poorly.

@MRex From what I have read very few cases are totally symptom-free. But with mild cases, people often dismiss the symptoms as a cold, hayfever, etc.

@Piggywaspushed

I do mrex. My friend was completely symptom free when she got a positive result. She did go on to be poorly.

Well exactly, so she wasn't asymptomatic, just pre-symptomatic.

Has anyone got a person they actively know who had a positive test and never had a single symptom?

Has anyone got a person they actively know who had a positive test and never had a single symptom?

I only know one case (my friend's grandmother) but she is 95 years old. She was apparently feeling "as usual" but I am not sure it really equalled to "absolutely fine". She didn't have any usual Covid or cold/flu or gastro symptoms.

I know a few people who were confident they were "asymptomatic" but they ended up developing symptoms in 24-48 hours.

The thing is we’re told not to test until symptomatic are we? So there will never be many positive asymptomatic cases.

I know a few people who tested positive where a family member never got ill at all, but as not ill they never tested so who knows ?

All those LFTs ought to start asymptomatic? The station question is whether they stay way.

All the LFT positive tests should in theory be asymptomatic - although as you say Mrex they may be pre-symptomatic in reality
The only people o know who haven’t had any symptoms (or not had the main ones - so perhaps had a dodgy stomach or a headache) have been primary aged children.

When I tested positive on my LFT I was asymptomatic, it was confirmed by PCR dated the same day. So I did test when asymptomatic. I actually became symptomatic 5 days later with symptoms that met the testing criteria, but 2 days after testing positive on my LFT I was sneezing.

Possibly many 'asymptomatic' cases are actually 'no unusual symptoms'.

I know several people who didn't feel out of the ordinary but tested positive on a routine test, then attributed day-to-day 'symptoms' to the Covid. For example, one had a mouth ulcer, which she wouldn't have remarked on but for an unexpected positive test. She's had them over the years. She didn't notice anything else, even over the next days.

Lots of people are coughing and sneezing at the moment and I can actually see the pollen in the air at times. I generally have a scratchy throat at this time of year. In 2019 I hadn't heard of Covid, in 2020 there was no routine testing. This year I am doing regular lateral flow tests (sometimes daily if I'm volunteering in different places) and they've all been negative. But if I were to get a positive I'd attribute the exact symptoms that I get every year to Covid. So, if I had no other symptoms, would I be 'symptomatic'?

Worrying... Vietnam detects new UK-Indian variant

Johnson's plan of trying to just ignore rising cases looks so risky.

Wonder if UK labs have seen the same variant? And not yet mentioned?

Hello all! Long time lurker here who has been very grateful for all your knowledge and information. Just de-lurking to say I do know of one person who was entirely asymptomatic. They were routinely tested for work, got a positive test, completed 14 days isolation, completely symptom free, and then went on with their lives. However, about 5 months later, they did have another positive test (also through work, symptom-free at time of test with multiple negatives between first positive and second) and developed very mild symptoms a few days later, so not sure whether the first was perhaps a false positive or they caught it again and had it ever so slightly worse.

Thanks @Mackers17.

My sister tested positive on a LFT in December, she went to get one as covid was rife at the school she worked at. She tested positive, had no symptoms until she lost her taste a week later. She was also a bit tired. So she was presymptomatic, but very mild symptoms.

I also think the number of true asymptomatic people is hugely overstated.

Although I suspect the proportion of asymptomatic people to increase once vaccinated.

We have had kids at school test positive and feel perfectly well. The 'completely asymptomatic' argument is one that is often used to stop the idea of children having to SI. Plenty of posters on here (by which I mean MN) write that children shouldn't have to isolate or self isolate as a contact because 'they aren't unwell'.

Another long time lurker here with possible asymptomatic Covid. Never had a positive PCR but tested positive for antibodies around September 2020. I work with vulnerable people so was having daily temperature checks and watching for symptoms throughout, and now do twice weekly LFTs. If I wasn't involved in a couple of research studies, I would never have known I had it.
Only symptoms similar to Covid was the weird 'flu' that I and many of my colleagues had between Oct 2019 and Jan 2020!

Also to add I really shouldn't have been asymptomatic as I'm in the fat and over forty demographic we are told are more severely affected. I'm actually ECV and should have shielded but couldn't afford to not go to work unfortunately. Still at least it makes me an interesting case study

My dd went to uni last year and in her halls flat 3 out of five of them tested positive last October.

Two of the three had absolutely no symptoms. The other lost her sense of smell for a few days.

Dd didn't ever test positive (Negative pcrs on day 1 and day 8) but was really quite ill all week with fairly classic symptoms and an asthma flare up. They'd all been in isolation for a week when she got ill so unlikely to be anything else.

The 5th had no symptoms and no positive test so either escaped it, had it before or another asymptomatic and the test didn't get it.

I don't know anyone who's had a test and got a positive and stayed asymptomatic, but I do know of 3 people who had antibody tests and were surprised to find they'd got antibodies when as far as they knew they hadn't had it.

Dropping in to share an interesting graph from an actuary showing vaccinated% vs median age by local authority.

As a Londoner I find it a bit worrying, although “median age” as a proxy for vaccine eligibility is flawed - it’s possible/plausible that London population is more bunched among the twenty-forty group, whereas Manchester/Birmingham with similar median ages are more evenly spread up the age band, hence with higher vaccine eligibility.
