Swine Flu

We will refer to the 2009 H1N1 Flu as the 'Swine Flu' as it is commonly called.


Incubation Period: In general, the incubation period for the swine flu virus seems to range from 2 to 7 days. Meaning you could get someone sick before you know you are infected!

Swine Flu Symptoms: body aches, chills, cough, fatigue, fever, headache, runny nose, sore throat, and stuffy nose. Basically just like your everyday flu. :)

Contrary to science fiction shows (with bad or NO science), viruses with long incubation periods and non-lethal attacks tend to be the more successful ones (as in they spread wider to more hosts).

My advice is this: stop coughing in public places and always wash your hands.
Please stop spreading these damn diseases around !
