swine flu catching period?

i went out to a great dinner saturday and sat next to someone who had definite swine flu... w egot 5 days treatment that ended on wed and this was sat...his doc told him after wed was fine..

if i had known i wouldn't have sat next to him..i did wonder why noone else did:) I was a bit worried but now not freaked at all about it i just wondered if anyone knew the contagious period for it.. ? and if I was going to get it how long before I showed symptoms? I have informed CG, PAFt and MW who all said fine to carry on as long as no symptoms.. i have looked up a few sites but they seem to say different things?

he did cough but everyone watched him like a hawk he coughed twice and both times into his hand.. :) lol.. definitely didn't share anything and eventually the others made me a space at the end of the table:)

nope i haven't seen that site..I will look tonight..

Just gotta say though how awesome are all those people to know that he had just got over that and still let a pregnant woman sit down next to him?

jaz yeah so i should be fine

bobbie- yeah:( ..they thought he was joking.. but realised he wasnt when i told them..then they felt bad:( I'm the only one without him on facebook. (otherwise i would have known)

mw said i can take tamiflu but needs to be in first 48 hours of symptoms..I was like lets just hope it doesnt come to that..she is pretty sure i would have had symptoms by now.
