All I know is that COVID is magically the only thing in the world that you go to the hospital for, and they literally tell you there’s nothing they can do, come back when it’s too late.

Can you imagine any other illness?

“Oooh..that’s a weird looking mole there…come back when your leg falls off.”

Damn. You come in with a paper cut, and they’ll at least wash it and put a bandaid on it.

In one of my recent posts I covered the following study. It was a longitudinal study that was very small. However, the researchers suggest that the time from positive test to symptom onset may be as short as 1-2 days.

The issue is figuring out when the actual timing is supposed to hit what exactly. If it's viral proliferation then that means you only have a few days from exposure and not symptom onset to worry about, and unless someone were to undergo daily surveillance it'd be hard to figure out when that time would be.
