So approximately 3 total weeks from exposure to seeing the published data. We may just be seeing the beginning.
Where is this info coming from? Unless they live in a cave, people know the symptoms and get tested as soon as possible. Back in April it might have taken a week to get test results, now it takes one day in most urban locations. They have new mobile labs that give results in 45 minutes. The state doesn't take a week to post results, they put them up as soon as they get them.
