Is a 50% infection rate high? When airborne transmission is used alone, the transmission rate is near zero: "Under laboratory conditions, when healthy volunteers are kept with those suffering colds, it is remarkably difficult to spread the infection. This is because the mucus from the respiratory tract of someone infected has to get directly into your respiratory tract.": http://www.smh.com.au/news/Health/Kiss-your-fears-goodbye/2005/05/26/1116950789651.html
