Again, you're retarded. Coughing and sneezing are symptoms...It could be something else, or nothing, but that's how this spreads. "Asymptomatic" means you don't know you have it but can still spread it. Hence the rec for masks.
It spreads through droplets. I wasn’t saying contagious or not. Another person who doesn’t know how it spreads. From the WHO (aka China):
How does COVID-19 spread?
People can catch COVID-19 from others who have the virus. The disease spreads primarily from person to person through small droplets from the nose or mouth, which are expelled when a person with COVID-19 coughs, sneezes, or speaks. These droplets are relatively heavy, do not travel far and quickly sink to the ground.
