There will always be a delay between an actual infection and the time at which the infection is confirmed by the lab, or manifests so it can be determined without lab clarification (for diagnoses where we allow that.

Diagnoses with specific attribution rules

We have specific attribution rules as documented in their pages for the following diagnoses:

  • there may be others dx right now that my search for 48 did not find because maybe they use a 12 hr or 17 hour... rule. Collectors, can you think of any? Ttenbergen 15:38, 2020 March 25 (CDT)
