If you remember when this all started, the first guy in Mexico who died "from" it (though his "treatment" was an antibiotic shot per the news articles at that time, and he had to travel a long way each way by bus, so I'm thinkin' the flu isn't what did him in, not entirely)...his wife never got it.
As with any illness, it's easy for some people to get it and others not to. Heck, way back when, one of my great aunts got diphtheria. She had 6 sisters, all at home. She was the ONLY one in the family who got it. And thanks to my great-grandfather's care, she came out of it just fine...though since he had to stay up with her all night and all day, sweeping clear the membranes that grew in her throat (that's how diphtheria gets you...I have seen it referred to as "the strangler", obviously by people not willing to do what my great grandfather did),
he was likely a mess once she was better.
Bugs affect different bodies differently!
In fact, since you're a teacher...I'd say YOU brought it home to HIM! That's what my hubby does...I'll get sick and he'll say "oh, so and so had that the other day, he was sneezing all over the place, I told him to go home when he was working with me in my cubicle"...thanks hubby! He's typhoid mary in our house; brings home everything and gets almost nothing.
