Sources for pre-symptomatic transmission:
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32453686/
(the only paper providing good evidence that pre-symptomatic individuals may spread the virus, but this never leads to severe illness)

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-020-1046-6
(Critical review concludes that evidence for presymptomatic spread is weak overall )

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-020-0843-2
(miniscule viral load in exhaled breath compared with swab)

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19320359/ ( review of all studies led to conclusion that presymptomatic spread plays essentially no role in epidemiology of influenza. )
