Readings are taken only every 6 days, with the last being Feb 11? Crash occurred Feb 3. Means 1 round of tests 2 days after crash? Something might show up.

I know very little about weather patterns, but I think it likely would take more than 2 days for any significant contaminants to arrive here. But I see your point

Exactly. They said we would expect to receive contamination between 24 and 48 hours. By Feb 11 that ship has sailed and left behind?? Maybe they can extrapolate the decomposition of the initial dose over time and work backwards to figure it out.
