I saw a TV presentation a couple of weeks ago by some NHS guy, I can't remember his name. (It was in the week following Witty/Vallance and Boris announcing lockdown.) On his slides he showed a range of days for each stage in the cycle of the disease. From what I recall the average was 5 days for infection to symptoms and around 23 days from symptoms to death. But looking online it is hard to find any definitive timeline for Covid. I think I've also read 21 days rather than 23 but I can't remember where.
