Generation time is the amount of time required for a cell to divide into two cells. Studies have shown that the H1N1 virus has a generation time around 2 to 3 days for both acute respiratory illness (ARI) and for influenza like illness(ILI). This means that if there was 100 infections across California today, in two days there would be roughly 200 infections and by a week over 400 infections.
