you are contagious 1 day before you start showing symptoms, it is like this with all flu’s
An infected person can spread the virus to others 24 hours before they have any symptoms and up to 7 days after symptoms show.
You spread the virus before you syptoms, because once you get your sypmtoms, your body is already fighting and “killing” the germs.
The new swine flu virus apparently spreads just like regular flu and become airborne if infected person cough or sneeze without covering their nose and mouth, sending germs into the air. The virus is transmitted by saliva or droplets of sneezing from an infected person. You could pick up germs directly from an infected person, or by touching an object they recently touched, and then touching your eyes, mouth, or nose, delivering their germs for your own infection. Infected people can start spreading flu germs up to a day before symptoms start, and for up to seven days after getting sick, according to the CDC.
all i know that it is NOT tranfered by air, the virus dies in 4 hours if its in the air..
