During the (now ongoing) press conference a Iowa official explained the cannot test for this Swine Flu. The can only do a preliminary test and if that test indicates it COULD BE swine flu they sent it of to a other laboratory for further analyzes. THis would indeed indicate it takes at least a few days for results to be certain.

So after only a day they can only say that it's not Swine flu or that it could be swine flu.

does anyone know how long it takes from symptoms to death

At the very least 4 days
