Hey guys believe that the swine flu condition deteriorates rapidly after exposure and resolve quickly. So when the exposure time, how many days the symptoms worsen? This is the reason to wonder if someone out within a week and it's just a cold and fever does not cause panic, when the swine flu incubation period is 2-3 days, I expect that 2-3 days should start to show symptoms, and explains pls throw some information on this topic

Related person age, body immunity and over all conditions are might be a great factor to consider first.
Generally, it doesn’t take 1-5 days.
It will hit you fast. Just like a normal flu.
Aches pains all over cough, sneezing lost of appetite.
Transmission: Transmission of influenza A (H1N1) is being studied as part of the ongoing outbreak investigation, but limited data available indicate that this virus is likely transmitted in ways similar to other influenza viruses. Seasonal human influenza viruses are thought to be transmitted between persons primarily through large-particle respiratory droplet transmission (e.g., when an infected person coughs or sneezes near a susceptible person). Transmission via these large-particle droplets requires close contact between source and recipient persons because droplets do not remain suspended in the air and generally travel only a short distance (< 6 feet).
Contact with contaminated surfaces is another possible source of transmission and transmission via small-droplet nuclei (also called “airborne” transmission) might also occur, but the contribution of these modes of transmission to influenza epidemiology is uncertain. Because data on the transmission of novel H1N1 viruses are limited, the potential for ocular, conjunctival, or gastrointestinal infection is unknown. Since this is an influenza A (H1N1) virus in humans, transmission from infected persons to close contacts might be common. All respiratory secretions and bodily fluids (diarrheal stool) of influenza A (H1N1) cases should be considered potentially infectious.
Examples of close contact include kissing or embracing, sharing eating or drinking utensils, physical examination, or any other contact between persons likely to result in exposure to respiratory droplets. Close contact typically does not include activities such as walking by an infected person or sitting across from a symptomatic patient in a waiting room or office
