Unique Late start to current internship – how to speak to it during IB superday?

Apologies for the trivial question, but really worried about this. I got a gig at a HF this summer but 2 days before it was slated to start (about 2 weeks ago) I got COVID. I wish I was joking.

My firm has been amazing and has supported me throughout, and I have had to take on a late start in my internship. I have been working only a week thus far, and have only done due diligence in regards to a particular sector and stock, alongside some back of the envelope DCF modeling.

I recently found out that I have a superday this week with a firm I applied to a while ago. At the time of my superday interviews, I would have only had 1.5 weeks into my internship. I'm learning a lot and have some experiences to speak from, but I am extremely worried interviewers will try to drill me on my experience at the HF (rightfully so) when my tenure has been so short... Should I tell them right off the bat I've had only limited exposure thus far? I do not want to give the impression that I am not intelligible about my experience, yet also don't want to be seen as making excuses for myself. I have also seen recent threads that having PE/HF experiences provide more ground for hard hitting questions. Any advice on best course of action?
