Yes, probably? It's really the ideal sort of environment for spreading
airborne viruses.
Something in what you wrote made me realise I was wrong about not
having the flu for 30 years. I had a mild dose in 1996... after
getting my one and only flu shot. For some reason that year, all the
dire warnings on the radio made me decide to get a flu shot. Normally
I ignore such things. I won't be doing that ever again unless there's
a particularly lethal strain getting about.
