I used MRSA as an example Jaysay. The hive of nasties floating around waiting rooms are not necessarily HCAIs. They could be anything from Chickenpox to the common cold. I think you'll find that many infections take significantly longer than 2 days to incubate. For example, Flu viruses can take 7 days at least.
