If someone with a contagious virus walks through a crowded area, you can not say for sure if or if not anyone will contract this virus.
If or if not anyone does, the fact that this person has walked through the area makes the chances far greater that another will catch it, and spread it to even more people, than if that person had never walked through the area.

Yeah, exactly. Even if they don't, it could erode their immune systems to a point where something else does get them. There's no way for us to measure the actual effect the person had, but we can most definitely speculate on the probable consequences, and suggest suitable means for avoiding them.
