We have a number of reports from countries who are doing very detailed contact tracing.

They're following asymptomatic cases, they're following contacts and they're not finding

secondary transmission onward.

It's very rare.

We are constantly looking at this data and we're trying to get more information from countries

to truly answer this question.

It still appears to be rare that an asymptomatic individual actually transmits onward.

Because the kids say, wait, what?

That was a WHO doctor saying, if you got no symptoms, it's very, very rare to give

anybody else the disease, which is one of the basic ideas behind the giant shutdown

after we stopped flattening the curve and just became obsessed with avoiding cases.

Anyway, to discuss that and many other related topics, please welcome the Armstrong and

Getty Show, the most terrific Lonheed J. Chen, David and Diane Steffi, fellow in American

public policy studies at the Hoover Institution.

Lonheed, how are you, sir?

Good, you're home well.

Good to talk to you.

Likewise, yeah, thanks for coming on today.

Listen, I think we're all a little too very, very frustrated, depending on the impacts

in our lives, with these county and state health officials who have been granted dictatorial

powers during an alleged emergency.

Your take.
