Can a healthy person, who gets exposed to a sick person with flu, and not get sick themselves and for that matter, never gets a flu shot, go over to those with lower immunity to infectious diseases and spread the flu to those other people, as if they were a flu carrier of sorts? Lets just Google it. Question "Can a healthy person spread the flu to others without having symptoms themselves?" Answer YES And it BEGS THE QUESTION Should it be made law that all persons be given the flu shot? Then, would that go against certain ethics? I figure it must because nobody took a gun to me and insisted I go get the shot. I did it willingly, but those I know, some, who claim never to have gotten the flu in their lives, just the sniffles, a cold or mild case of the 24 hour bug, insist they have become stronger by not getting the shot and those who get the shot are, in their opinion, in many cases, apparently, those who receive an annual flu shot to prevent it from making them sick that following flu season, are simply weak. Yea, right. I think not. It stands to reason that it is those who don't bother getting a flu shot, who insist they don't need it that the flu has become more deadly. MY 2 cents. And in this year, 2018, what are the numbers of those who have become to the latest strain of influenza in all our history? https://www.forbes.com/sites/stevensalzberg/2018/01/21/this-years-flu-is-nasty-and-getting-worse-and-now-weve-shut-down-the-cdc/#32678dde1144
Can some people be carriers of diseases without ever appearing sick? Infections are transmitted by different types of "germs," including bacteria and viruses. Some germs can cause asymptomatic infection, which means that the person can have the 'germ' in t

Definitely yes, some people can carry the virus in their hands when touching a contaminated object and can transfer the virus when they touch the person, or they touched some object and in turn touched by other people.It's better for sick people to stay at home and maintain good hygiene; such as washing their hands and throwing tissues in proper covered places to avoid infecting others. The best way to combat flu is to boost our immunity.Get proper sleep and healthy food choices.We can also take vitamin C supplements and green tea.Another thing is we should avoid crowded places.Better yet to stay at home in flu season.I'm not recommending to get the flu shot though, as it only protects us from few flu strains and may not be 100 %effective.

Your information is really good. I have remained home and my wife. We have both been getting more rest, eating lots more healthy and ya know? I have actually not eaten a cheeseburger or fries since I came down with this flu and I lost about 8 pounds. I had green tea every morning for the past 30 days or more, and cranberry juice cocktail, purified water, salt water gargle and breath steam. Hope we both are winners at this battle over the flu this season.

And this must hold true to every single virus on earth that is transmitted from person to person.
