OK, so if someone who is asymptomatic has the COVID diagnostic test and is "positive" they can't transmit it to others?  
That’s what a Dr. from the WHO said, before the organization backtracked on her comments (so who knows).

OK, thanks.  I was checking on the internet and I couldn't make sense of it all.  It seems to me that they should be able to track someone who caught it from someone who tests positive with no symptoms (if it's true).

In all honesty...The "medical experts" from the CDC and WHO have said yes and no to this question.  I really don't know if anyone really knows.  Since most diseases cannot be transmitted by asymtomatic carriers, it's probable that this one also cannot be.  Unfortunately, there are exceptions.  Because COVID-19 is completely political, I don't think we will ever know the truth of the matter.  Even when deaths from this disease have fallen to near zero on a daily basis, I am sure we will be seeing ever increasing numbers of positives.  

It seems that many of the "positive" tests we're seeing today are positive anti-body tests which means that the individual has been exposed to the disease and has developed anti-bodies to combat the disease.

They're calling two separate classes as 'asymptomaic' which allows them to say transmission is possible.
You have true 'asymptomaic' which can't transmit the disease because it's been overwhelmed by your fully functional immune system.
Then you have 'asymptomaic' as in you have no symptoms now but may occasionally cough or sneeze before you are full blown.
They put both together and lie like both cases are the same which they are not

I am starting to believe that all of the asymptomatic diagnostic testing is more about contact tracing (ie. the government getting into your personal lives) than anything else.
