2019-nCoV should be added to this page, as there is now evidence of 2019-nCoV producing asymptomatic carriers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MrTempestilence (talk • contribs) 23:03, 30 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

Agreed. Also the modern term "Super Spreader" should be added here as that seems to be the equivalent of the asymptomatic carrier. Reference 11 already contains a mention of "Super Spreader". Maybe under the heading "Modern Media".
