No correction per se, but 21 days is the outside length. From what I’ve read, the common onset period is 4-7 days.

I’m also reading things that seem to point at something else interesting. The shorter the time before onset, the more serious the case tends to become. The longer until onset, the less serious the case becomes.

Nothing scientific, just anecdotal, like so many things about this virus.

Per the CDC, so with a big FWIW...

“The incubation period for COVID-19 is thought to extend to 14 days, with a median time of 4-5 days from exposure to symptoms onset.1-3 One study reported that 97.5% of persons with COVID-19 who develop symptoms will do so within 11.5 days of SARS-CoV-2 infection.”

I would speculate that there may be a relationship between this and viral load. That is one thing I can see on the positive side for mask use.
