swine flu risk in the steam room ?

i was recently in the gym for the first time in a couple of weeks ... and was relaxing in the steam room ... when one of the blokes coughed ...

and a thought suddenly struck me ... would the flu virus be more communicable in a steam room ?

perhaps the virus would live longer in the heat ... or perhaps it would carry further ??

i watched a drama about the spanish flu the other day, so perhaps i'm over reacting ...
