Some of that is absolute rubbish. Yes it is possible to get infected that quickly, but I wouldn't say it was almost certain at all.
My last work place didn't do patching at all. Until Nachi hit anyway. But Lovsan didn't do anything to it.
When I got to my current work place in November last year, very little patching was done, which I do not believe included the relevant patches for Lovsan and Nachi, yet no problems here at all.
