Improbable but not impossible. Depends on many factors, among them: the type of virus/bacteria and their concentration (there are sturdy types and the more of them there are, the higher the likelihood of survival and transmission), amount of tub water, temperature of the tub water, chemicals in the tubwater, your proximity to the infected person, and presence of sores, broken skin on you.

Highly unlikely. If the water was a perfect temperature to maximize the life of the virus and you had open sores or ruptures in your skin providing access to your bloodstream, it might be possible.

I don't know for sure, but it seems there is a good likelihood. If the bacteria/virus floats through the warm water (bacteria and virus LOVE warm) to the other person.................
