From Feb 2020. Due to the speed of the evolving COVID-19 pandemic, I think the month a news story on it is featured on HN needs to be added, otherwise people may think it is a breaking story.

Can we get dates, e.g., (Feb 3) for posts about coronavirus? Sometimes even days matter, but this is months, and -- regardless of whether this study was in fact flawed -- we now have strong evidence that COVID-19 is transmitted by people without symptoms.

Significant flaw to not talk to the supposedly asymptotic patient, but what's the current knowledge on this front? Are there other, reliable cases of asymptomatic transmission documented since then?
