I don't view "Chinese authorities" as being synonymous with "scientists" and reputation.
Nor do I, but we do know that the "Chinese Authorities" control everything that comes out of China. And this came out of China. So?

All close contacts of the asymptomatic positive cases tested negative, indicating that the asymptomatic positive cases detected in this study were unlikely to be infectious.

this is ed zachery what my doc told me.  the spread is from sick people, not from children or anyone asymptomatic.

The issue is whether scientists would distort their findings because they had some funding from some Chinese agency.

A person who is not coughing or sneezing will be LESS contagious obviously than one who is.

Not if they are in tight quarters and laughing and talking loudly.

China disappears people who do not fall in line with their narrative. We know this.

Re: the new mutation. Isn't the vaccine aiming at the spike protein, not the main virus cell itself?

Yes. 

The concern is that there are a few mutations specific to the sequences that define the spike protein. So they still *think* it'll protect, but there is more risk than mutations that don't affect the spike protein.

Not that there's anything remarkable to report, but my wife's first vaccine shot led to a slightly sore arm for a day like any other shot.  

Meanwhile, my 3rd grade daughter's teacher disclosed her positive CV test which she received the day after the semester ended.  It turns out another classmate also reported a positive case.  We tested our 9 year old, and she tested positive last week.   She's had about a 3 hr headache, which she had the morning we had her tested.  Nothing else.    First world problems, but the thing that irritates me with this, is my 11 year  (who has no symptoms, no positive test) old now has to basically sit out of school until the 15th of Jan, yet her positive testing sibling will be able to attend school a full week sooner.    The counting of days, following last exposure to a known positive test case.  I'm not going to attempt to isolate a 9 yr old and/or her 11 year old sister for two weeks, in winter during a school break.  In a former life, we'd call that child neglect.

I get it and I feel you, but this is the problem.
The "I know what I should do, but I'm not going to do that because (insert good reason)" syndrome.  We're a country of people saying "yeah, but..." and that's why this thing is so out of control.

And that's why big sis has to sit out of school another week.   Isolating a 9yr old isn't going to happen. Now, she won't leave the house and hasn't since 12/22 but zero chance I can guarantee she stays away from big sis for 3, 5, 7 , 10+ days while Dad works from home and Mom's at work.  The funny thing is, turn that kid into a 13+ and she'd love the idea of hunkering down for a week in the guest bedroom in the basement away from her evil sister and annoying parents.
