Incubation period for flu is 24-48 hours. I can’t imagine the spread of a virus that has a two week incubation period. I wonder when this virus becomes infectious in an infected person. Flu is very infectious right before symptoms show and for the first few days.

Well, that’s what I was thinking. I think what the guy who posted meant was, that the symptoms weren’t evident for 14 days, and people had it, but no symptoms. He just use the wrong terminology if that’s what he meant.
