I thought that it just spent the first 20 hours in the usual dormant stage that most virii go through when they first enter their host. But now that you mention it, that does leave precious little time for the virus to spread. And of course virii do not have little synchronized swiss chronographs by which they time their lives. In virri, these times are simply statistical means. Which is to say, of course, that there would have been about a 50-50 chance that the girl would have passed the point of no return before being injected with the cure. (and since when do virii have cures beyond a vaccine? and since when do vaccines work after exposure?) And since such numbers are merely statistical means, one must ask the question as to who was infected with the virus in order to allow them to observe a statistically meaningful population sample?
