Anti-quarantine protest
Some hundreds people have gathered in Victoriei Square in Bucharest on Sunday afternoon to protest against the quarantine/isolation law, despite the fact that the law has not been voted yet. Protesters challenged the existence of the virus, while opposing the quarantine and isolation and arguing these will lead to “dictatorship”, as they are not constitutional.
In retort, Arafat said that protesters are undoubtedly exposed to getting the virus, to infect others (…) “There is a study by the Yale University that has been recently released and it clearly says that over 50% of infections are given by asymptomatic people”.
Asked what message he would like to deliver to protesters and to those who don’t believe in COVID-19, Arafat replied: “We are waiting for them at the hospital”.
The accurate quote below show 50 percentage speculation NOT OVER 50 percent.

“Silent spreaders – people who have the coronavirus but haven’t yet developed COVID-19 symptoms or may never develop them. A new study suggests they may be responsible for half of the infections in the United States. Alison Galvani led the study. She’s a professor of epidemiology at Yale University.”
