How would someone know when the right time was to provide the storm blocker?

For an allergic reaction, everything happens quickly.

For this virus, isn't the deal that you've potentially got it for 2 weeks before you show symptoms? So, do you need to give it as soon as you've been infected or do you need to give it when you show symptoms, or do you need to give it the day before you show symptoms, or does it come at some later date a week down the road after you've started showing symptoms?
