Agreed - I wonder if the guy next to him (window seat guy) touched the armrest

I'm definitely no doctor (heck, I haven't even been to one in years), and even with bronchitis you can't tell if it's contagious or not by symptoms alone.
In any case, instead of a nice meal being my priority, I had to go immediately into preventative medicine mode. It was really a downer.
