How are asymptomatic people a threat again?

This has nothing to do with the text you quoted. You quoted something that has to do with people who are known to be positive. If you're positive and had symptoms, you need to wait 10 days to come out of isolation. If you've had fever as well, you need to wait 24 hours after your last high temp without using tylenol, advil, etc.

I guess you didn't read the article you quoted:

A large study in Taiwan cited by the CDC found people were much more likely to catch COVID-19 if they were exposed to someone who was sick within the first five days the person having symptoms. That study found no cases of infection if a person was exposed to someone with COVID-19 six or more days after the onset of illness.

An unknown proportion of those who are infected with COVID-19 have asymptomatic disease and so many never know they're infected.

"While I would say that a completely asymptomatic patient is less likely to transmit the disease, they certainly can," Shapiro said.

It's unlikely that asymptomatic people are going to know they're positive because they'd have no reason to be tested.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention document, published Wednesday, says symptoms are a better gauge of how infectious someone is so they are "not kept unnecessarily isolated and excluded from work or other responsibilities."

If you don’t have symptoms they are saying you are not contagious. Am I misreading this?

Symptoms are a better gauge =/= Symptoms are the only gauge

Why can’t the worlds elite scientists figure out this virus ? I am not asking for string theory or differential equations.

What makes you think they want too?

Much more fun to be able to influence politics and destroy lives.

You have mistaken them as anything but human trash.

Just to remind some of you that all this shite it about the election.

I don't know if you're misreading it or not. I can't hear you pronounce the words out loud. But you are definitely misinterpreting the text you're quoting if you believe what you're writing in this thread.
