I figured this out, if you are still looking for an answer. Add a counting variable to the solver that adds 1 every frame a point is not infected. Then add a timeshift to the animated geo. shift time by @Frame - 'countingvariable'
I'm also trying to offset animation of alembic file. I have an infection solver and want to copy/instance the alembic onto each point having the animation start at frame 0 when the point gets an infection value of 1.
