An example of an inference that certainly does commit the fallacy of division is this: (1) Water is liquid. Therefore: (2) H2O molecules are liquid. This argument, in attributing a macro-property of water, liquidity, to its constituent parts, commits the fallacy of division.
Flu Incubation Period. The typical flu incubation periodâthe time between exposure and the start of symptomsâis between 24 hours and four days, with the average being two days. This means that if you are exposed to the influenza virus and become infected, you will start to experience flu symptoms anywhere between 24 hours and four days after the exposure.
Influenza is a contagious respiratory disease transmitted from person to person primarily via virus-laden droplets. Viral shedding starts 24 to 48 hours after infection, and typically 24 hours before the onset of symptoms.
