Flipping Lfs Killed My Tank

Not had the chance to speak to the pathologist in the family but have spoken to a psychiatrist and geriatrician both (obviously) with medical training, i'll get a better explanation from mi padre when he returns from Norway, but simply there appears to be too many variable factors to assume incubation periods for practically any bacteria.
I'm not sure what commonly suggested incubation periods are actually based on (optimal environment, mean time).
Absolutely everything affects the speed of the incubation process (temperature being a prime example) and the speed of infection, this, combined with numerous factors applicable to the succeptibility of the host means (from what i understood) that any assumption around a bacterial infection having a set time to take effect appears to be exactly that; an assumption.

Nevertheless, that bad a viral infection in a healthy tank that rapid would be one nasty critter. The lps should have had some kind of problem too.

...erm could there have been something on the outside of the bag that was floated, if so the first fish that died may have had an unrelated underlying problem that meant it was weak went quicker than the rest....I only offer this up as my brother-in-law once killed a tank of tetras by not realising he'd got washing up liquid on a bag he then floated.......
