Yeah the article said you're at greater risk in heavily populated areas like schools and the military.
Maybe he picked it up at work if he's in an office building or another place with a fair population.
My girlfriend owns hair salons.
All these damn people come in with their colds instead of staying home taking meds for a week. Now all her girls are infected.
Next year she said that during flu season she's going to inform people and put a sign up that says if you're sick please reschedule.
Her shops were damn near shut down because people couldn't wait a week for a hair cut.

I pick up colds from the gym every year. It's so infuriating - pardon my French but complete and utter douchebags with colds and flu who come to the gym to "sweat it out" (an old wive's tale) are to blame. They're sneezing and coughing all over the locker room, the steam room and the sauna. You should never work out when you're sick, and it's bad manners in the extreme to come to a public place and spread your germs everywhere. When you work out, you're putting your body under a lot of stress and your immune system is temporarily weakened. That's why it's so easy to pick up germs in the gym.
Same goes for people who get onto crowded buses and trains coughing and sneezing. Either stay at home, or medicate yourself to the point where your symptoms don't include bombarding everyone around you with snot.
