Bbc2 - talking about clubbing sun night.

[BigSandyBalls2015]

Bloke rang in saying his son went out to a night club on midnight Sunday, got home at 4am yesterday.

He’s tested positive today ... surely that’s too soon to have caught it sun night?

I would have thought so.

I think he already had it.
But probably passed it on unknowingly.

Probably too soon to have caught it there but soon enough that he's potentially infected dozens of people.

Yes, much too soon. Also quite soon to get back a PCR test taken today. It's possible that unlicensed recreational drugs could impact on LFT results, he needs to get a PCR confirmation?

Too soon but imagine how many people he's passed it on to. This is why I agree with the need for vaccinated people only in venues.

Delta has a significantly shorter incubation period so it’s not impossible.

@IndigoC

Delta has a significantly shorter incubation period so it’s not impossible.

Clubs opened at midnight, test centres closed at 6pm on Monday. An 18 hour incubation period is not something that has been documented with Delta anywhere that I've seen, it's more like 4 days. Post your source that an 18 hour incubation period is plausible.

Or indeed the slice of lemon in your plain water.

Figure 1B that shows people test positive more quickly following exposure. The average time is cut to 4 days, with 10% testing positive within 2 days.

Agreed 18 hours sounds very implausible though.

Interesting paper @IndigoC, thanks. 1000 times higher viral load...!
