[quote:Billy Bones 671884:MV83ODc4MzhfMTIwOTE1MzZfN0U3RjcyNDE=] [quote:Boomer] well it is for a short period of time after an infected person coughs or sneezes... ;-) That's not airborne. When someone sneezes, spraying an area with their snot, and the virus is in that snot - of course you'll be infected if you get any of it on you. Every contagion meets that "qualification." In reality though, it's transferring person-to-person by physical contact. That is, bodily fluids. Nope. I'm afraid you guys have been had. [/quote] Exactly. And this place should own up to it, too.

You do realize it's not airborne, right?
The Department of Health (DOH) clarified Wednesday that the dreaded swine flu virus that has been causing deaths in Mexico and infecting others in different countries is not airborne.

The H1N1 flu virus is spread from person to person usually through respiratory droplets, from someone that is coughing or sneezing. Influenza is not airborne.
