• So I've read that it'd be like 2 days after exposure that you would start developing symptoms but does anyone know if that is true of temperature too?

    Or, how symptoms, temperature and contagiousness are linked?

    Basically, we have a family thing coming up and are concerned about potentially exposing the older family members. If we all measure body temp on the morning of the event and are reading normal does this mean we can safely assume,

    1. Noone has the virus
    2. Anyone that has been exposed is not yet contagious
    3. Neither of the above

  • So I've read that it'd be like 2 days after exposure that you would start developing symptoms

    I thought it could be up to 14 days, hence the 14 day quarantine.

  • I think you can assume that it’s possible to have it, transmit it, but not have symptoms.

    This is one reason why it’s gone round the world and SARS has not.

  • The best I have seen to answer this is a bit is here. So median is 5 days, 95% show symptoms within 5.8 days. Also, from what I have read you can be contagious before you are showing symptoms so it's sort of irrelevant if you have a temperature or not.
