A US citizen repatriated from Wuhan and quarantined at Lackland AFB (near San Antonio) tested negative twice, and was released after the 14-day quarantine period.
A third test detected a low-level Covid-19 infection, after the person had already been out in public (at a shopping mall). I don't know why the third test succeeded, while the others failed.... or why it was performed after he was released.
The person is back in quarantine. And, the people still at Lackland that were supposed to complete their 14-day quarantine today (I think they were from the cruise ship) are not being allowed to leave.
There has been speculation that the "outliers" (incubation period > 14 days) are actually due to an unknown secondary exposure that was the actual start of the incubation period. I'm wondering if this person was actually exposed at Lackland due to lack of effective isolation from other patients.
