Since I asked this exact question, I'll paste the answer that morriss003 gave me:

Here is some info from the Washington Post. There were a bunch of question answered by a doctor.

From;

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/04/28/AR2009042803367.html

"In the United States, the symptoms associated with swine A/H1N1 infection are very similar to what we see with seasonal influenza. The incubation time is one to three days, and infected people are ill for two to four days."

And from the CDC;

http://www.cdc.gov/swineflu/swineflu_you.htm

How can someone with the flu infect someone else?
Infected people may be able to infect others beginning 1 day before symptoms develop and up to 7 or more days after becoming sick. That means that you may be able to pass on the flu to someone else before you know you are sick, as well as while you are sick.
