I didn't say people are stupid in PA. I'm saying that I have more experience in this just like the tire shop knows more about mounting tires than I do. But I guess you didn't catch that. Hoon has caught it and has family that work in the field and what he described is what I've seen in pretty much every case. I would imagine he has researched the shit out of Covid 19 once he found he has it, as that's what everyone does when they find out.
If you've got it all figured out, then you've got it all figured out.
Get better homie! Can't wait for the engine built to continue.
I'm not in PA, I am a PA. And again, how are you seeing when patients were exposed and seeing at what point they are infectious.
It's a straight forward question.
I'd guess what you're seeing is anecdotal evidence, based on patients severe enough to be hospitalized. You know better than that.
From the CDC. Basically, we don't know.
The onset and duration of viral shedding and the period of infectiousness for COVID-19 are not yet known. It is possible that SARS-CoV-2 RNA may be detectable in the upper or lower respiratory tract for weeks after illness onset, similar to infections with MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV. However, detection of viral RNA does not necessarily mean that infectious virus is present. There are reports of asymptomatic infections (detection of virus with no development of symptoms) and pre-symptomatic infections (detection of virus prior to development of symptoms) with SARS-CoV-2, but their role in transmission is not yet known. Based on existing literature, the incubation period (the time from exposure to development of symptoms) of SARS-CoV-2 and other coronaviruses (e.g. MERS-CoV, SARS-CoV) ranges from 2–14 days.
