From the article: Experts say.... that the illness might incubate for a single day or for as long as six weeks before symptoms appear.
I guess you could question who these "experts" are, but you already said that you aren't one.
And I personally know someone right here on the Big Island who had to diagnose it herself because the doctors HERE couldn't. So I find it entirely plausible that these people would seek out answers on their own after weeks and weeks of getting nothing from the doctors in Gainesville, Fl.
