I think that the mis-handling & reporting of +COVID tests is a means in which to scare the public and is uncalled for. But it is the sign of the times. Stay healthy, exercise, eat well and stay away from sick people is always the best approach during these times.

Asymptomatic +COVID (your terminology) people can MOST DEFINITELY transmit the virus and infect other people. Not sure where you heard otherwise as it is undeniably wrong.
