The WHO now says asymptomatic coronavirus carriers spreading the virus is “very rare.” So why did we lock down again? https://www.outkickthecoverage.com/who-asymptomatic-covid-19-carriers-spreading-virus-is-very-rare/ …

I just looked up the WHO's definition of "very rare". It means less than one in 10,000 cases. That means the WHO is saying that of the 7 million cases of COVID-19 recorded to date world wide, less than 700 were caused by asymptomatic transmission.

So – it might be @WHO is drawing a distinction between asymptomatic spread and pre-symptomatic spread.
And it may be there isn't a lot of asymptomatic spread but plenty of pre-symptomatic spread.
Would be helpful to get the full report that they are referencing.
