So after all the endless guilting that has been done to people that refused to wear masks, because they we’re not sick, and knew that masks were ineffective anyway, we now find out that asymptomatic people rarely spread the disease!
Another major change from what we were initially told!
When are people going to accept that we have been fed incorrect data and supposed facts from the get go?

Well, it appears that either the original reporter who did the story or the doctor was originally quoted (Dr Maria Van Kerkhove) was imprecise in her language or the reported did not understand the distinction. This is being widely reproted today, although I had heard the clarification. "Asymptomatic" refers to Covid-19 victims who never experience any symptoms- this was the cohort that the doctor felt was "very rare" of spreading the virus. People who experienced mild symptoms" were definitely at risk of spreading the virus- before their symptoms appeared. Language matters and people in authority have a duty to be precise in their language. As far as wearing masks, I feel it's better to be safe than sorry
