No, these measures affect new cases, not the already ill - so you've got to build in those 2 weeks to display symptoms for those people who would or wouldn't now be infected.
- jupp0r 6y agoIt’s new cases. Those are people that have tested positive. This usually happens days after the actual time they have been infected. At the time of infection, you’d test negative because it takes time for viral replication to increase viral load to levels that are over thresholds used in the PCR testing process.
- SketchySeaBeast 6y agoBut we're not talking testing negative, are we? We're talking those people showing up in the system (the > 2 week lag in time it takes to change course), or did I miss a level of questioning that threw this off course?
- jupp0r 6y agoThe original question was what the delay between “new cases” and “new deaths” charts was.
