If you are within a couple feet of an infected person who coughs or sneezes, you can breathe in the fine droplets. If you are farther away, you are less at risk for catching the virus that way. The sneezed/coughed droplets don't stay airborne for very long, but viruses can survive for quite a long time on surfaces, once the droplets fall.
Hope this will help...

What type of virus is the H1N1 classified as?
It is a Type A Influenza virus with RNA genome.Also called Swine Flu, the 2009 Pandemic Flu, 2009 Swine Flu, and A-H1N1/09.
Is Swine Flu a type of influenza?
Yes, it is the Influenza caused by the Type A H1N1/09 virus.
What is the other word for swin flu?
Influenza A virus subtype H1N1
Is the H1N1 bacteria?
H1N1 refers to a subtype of the influenza virus, not a bacteria. Influenza viruses can cause respiratory illness in humans and animals. It is important to note that viruses and bacteria are different types of microorganisms that can cause different types of infections.
How many genes are found inside a human influenza virus?
eight genes are present in h1n1 virus
Is the Swine Flu caused by a virus or a bacteria?
It is caused by a virus called A-H1N1/09 influenza virus (aka swine flu).
What is a H1N1 virus?
Swine flu is a respiratory disease caused by type A influenza virus that regularly causes outbreaks of influenza in pigs. The "classical" swine flu virus (an influenza type A H1N1 virus) was first isolated from a pig in 1930. Swine flu viruses cause illness in pigs, but the death rates are low. This new virus, although it is being called "swine flu," is not the same virus.
What would H1N1 be called if it came back even more advanced?
The influenza viruses are identified by and given names that correspond with the proteins on the capsid of the virus (outside coating of the virus). For example, the two proteins on the H1N1/09 virus are Hemagglutinin and Neuraminidase, therefore the virus is called H1N1.The name of any mutations of the H1N1/09 influenza virus, would follow this same naming convention and it would be called by the name that is descriptive of the particular proteins it has on the capsid after the mutation.See the related question below for more information on the naming of influenza viruses.
What is A H1N1?
Swine Flu is a respiratory disease caused by type A influenza virus that regularly causes outbreaks of influenza in pigs. The "classical" swine flu virus (an influenza type A H1N1 virus) was first isolated from a pig in 1930. Swine flu viruses cause illness in pigs, but the death rates are low. This new virus, although it is being called "swine flu," is not the same virus.
Are all influenza Type A viruses the Swine Flu?
No, the pandemic A-H1N1/09 "swine flu" is just one of many Type A influenza strains. It is also one of many H1N1 flu subtypes. Besides Type A influenzas, there are also influenza Types B and C in humans.
What are the 3 viruses in the seasonal flu shot?
The CDC-approved trivalent vaccines for the 2011-2012 flu season contain and will protect against the following three flu virus strains: 1. Type A Influenza/California/7/09 (H1N1)-like virus (Pandemic (H1N1) 2009 influenza virus) 2. Type A Influenza/Perth/16/2009/ (H3N2)-like virus 3. Type B Influenza/Brisbane/60/2008-like virus
What is influenza A subtype N1H1?
H1N1 is a grouping of viruses that are subtypes of the Type A Influenza viruses. There are three types of influenza viruses that people get: Type A, Type B, and Type C. The type A H1N1 subtype of viruses are the most common cause of flu in humans (around half of all flu cases in 2006, for example). Some strains of H1N1 are also found to cause disease in other animals such as birds and pigs. The H1N1 subtype has been responsible for some major flu pandemics in recent history, for example, the post-World War 1 Spanish flu in 1918 and the 2009 swine flu pandemic (A-H1N1/09) were both due to Type A H1N1 virus subtypes.See related question below for more information about the virus that caused the 2009 Pandemic: Novel H1N1 Swine Flu also known as A-H1N1/09 virus.
