But luckily most of the contamination happens through cough, so that these people that don't show symptoms are also less contagious.

The Mybusters really do a great job of explaining contamination visually in this segment. https://youtu.be/k1j8bh8_O_Q

You don't want to be in the same building as a sick person, let alone anywhere near them in a smaller space like an office or restroom.

That video doesn't cover aerial contamination. The kind it shows is just hand-to-hand, then hand-to-face. Don't touch your face, and the germs stay on the outside of your hands, far from your mucus membranes. I've had very good results from this.
