The normal flu has a short incubation period. You're contagious for about a day before you realize you have the flu. A pandemic flu has a long incubation period (this one has been reported as 1-7 days): So you're spreading it for days before you realize you're spreading it.

Incorrect. From the CDC:

How long can an infected person spread this virus to others?
At the current time, CDC believes that this virus has the same properties in terms of spread as seasonal flu viruses. With seasonal flu, studies have shown that people may be contagious from one day before they develop symptoms to up to 7 days after they get sick. Children, especially younger children, might potentially be contagious for longer periods.

Don't feed into the hype by stating facts that aren't true and, or are, as of yet unknown.
