Due to how long it takes to get a result for the Commievirus, it does not surprise me that there is a lag in the number of patients taken aboard by USNSs Comfort and Mercy.

It is possible that we may see an increase in patient load in the next day or so. Just a WAG on my part though. So don't call your bookie on that just yet.

If the numbers do increase, we will never hear about it from the same sources so eager to run this story.
