No. Only bacterial. Had viral men. As soon as the results came back negative for bacterial men, all Drs and nurses stopped wearing gowns and masks to enter my room. Virus is usually a virus that lives normally happily and peacefully in nose mouth or throat.

No.

My sister and I shared bed and board on a visit to Mexico for a month. She got viral meningitis. I didn't.
