How easily is H1N1 passed?

How easily is H1N1 passed? If I’ve come in contact with someone who has the virus, what are the chances that I’ll get sick?

It seems to be very contagious. When it hits one member of a family, it often will be passed to other members in due course. If you come in contact with someone who has the virus, there is a reasonably good chance you will become infected, especially if you don’t wash your hands.
