Also, our media is so bi-partisan that it is dictating policy. There has been so much disagreement from the WHO and the CDC and changing what is effective and what is not you know this is based on politics and not what the actual results are from labs.
That is why we get conflicting information is because it does not fit the narrative the media wants to portray:

Quite slim, according to a recent study led by a group of researchers in Aichi Prefecture, who have discovered that asymptomatic coronavirus patients tend to recover within nine days of having their infections confirmed via polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests.
The findings, involving a study on how the disease developed in 90 people without symptoms who contracted the disease aboard the Diamond Princess cruise ship, were published Friday in the New England Journal of Medicine and showed that only 11 people without symptoms would go on to develop them later.
“In this cohort, the majority of asymptomatic infected persons remained asymptomatic throughout the course of their infection,” a team led by Yohei Doi, a doctor and professor of the department of infectious diseases at Fujita Health University, wrote in the report.

https://www.wral.com/coronavirus/fact-check-did-who-admit-asymptomatic-covid-19-spread-is-very-rare/19145685/Since the outbreak of the novel coronavirus, public health officials have warned that infected people without any detectable symptoms can still spread the virus. That fact is one of the reasons that officials have advised healthy people to wear masks while in public.
While an official with the WHO recently said asymptomatic spread of the coronavirus is "rare," the international public health organization has since walked back those comments — and several of the posts about the WHO’s communication about asymptomatic spread were published after the organization issued its clarification. There is no evidence that the WHO statement was connected to ongoing protests over police brutality, that it shows social distancing rules lack scientific backing, or that the pandemic itself was fabricated.
But on June 9, Van Kerkhove walked back her words in a question-and-answer session. Here’s what she said:
"What I was referring to yesterday in the press conference were a very few studies, some two or three studies, that have been published that actually try to follow asymptomatic cases — so people who are infected — over time, and then look at their contacts and see how many additional people were infected. And that’s a very small subset of studies.
"I was responding to a question at the press conference. I wasn’t stating a policy of WHO or anything like that. I was just trying to articulate what we know. And in that, I used the phrase ‘very rare.’ And I think that that’s a misunderstanding to state that asymptomatic transmission globally is very rare. What I was referring to was a subset of studies. I also referred to data that isn’t published."
In a June 10 interview on "Good Morning America," Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said the WHO’s initial comment "was not correct."
"There’s no evidence to indicate that’s the case. And in fact, the evidence that we have, given the percentage of people — which is about 25% to 45% — of the totality of infected people, likely are without symptoms," he said. "And we know from epidemiological studies they can transmit to someone who is uninfected even when they're without symptoms."
The bottom line: Asymptomatic transmission of COVID-19 does occur. But there’s too much scientific uncertainty to confidently say how big of a problem it is in context of overall spread.
There is obviously some agenda being played because American media and international media are conflicting. So essentially people are siding with their political agendas...as I am doing myself...I have not met one person that has had covid-19 and I live right outside of the Bay area in CA. I'm not saying its not real and I try to be cognizant of those with underlying conditions, but I think the whole thing is overblown......
I'm so tired of the typical......
