you dont have to be sick to be a carrier. 60-90% of native americans died from smallpox since they had no immunity. the new settlers had a resistance

The flu, fortunately, doesn't work like that. It does not remain dormant in your body like some viruses do.

Influenza actualy has an incubation period of up to 4 days so you could very well carry it without being sick.

It can also survive on you or your clothes up to 24hours.
