same, I have not had a cold/flu in 2 years now which is a record for me, usually I am getting sick 4-5 times a year.

I haven't had a cold or flu since Covid, either. This is probably the longest I've ever gone without one, usually I'd get one every couple of years or so.

I don't know if I'll ever take public transit / fly without a mask on again. Same.

I'm not sure how effective that will be if the sick person isn't also masked.

N95s are designed to protect the wearer from situations like that, even for 8 hours of contact. Cloth masks will not work in that situation though if the sick person isn’t masked.
