Ok, so Mum of 4, we are going to use evolution only when it suits the purpose of god. Also, so disease have evolved to where they can only be in a living host.

Two answers:
1. Germs can live in water, hide in the soil, live as "spores" in old dead things, etc. They don't need a living host to survive.
2. Bacteria and viruses provide some of the most powerful examples of evolution in action. I've not seen evidence of cross-species evolution, but there is plenty of evidence to show that micro-organisms such as these can easily evolve into other kinds of diseases. As a result, we may well have a lot more diseases today than they did back then.

Actually, they were able to survive those bacterial (viral? but virus are non-living) attacks but their genes were affected. That is why, after the flood, the average life-span for the descendants of Noah began to drop drastically, until at the time of Moses, it was just over 100 years (as compared with 900 before the flood).
You do have a false idea about germs. Most of them are good for us. Without them, we would not be able to live. The problem arises when the germs find themselves where they are not supposed to be. For example, e-coli in drinking water. I am assuming that by 'germs' you mean bacteria (as opposed to protozoa and virus)

I carried Noah's ark! you spot, in a very distant previous existence, i grow to be operating sometime even as Uriel got here to me. He said, "John Doe, you're a very solid guy and enormous swimmer, and seeing as how i do no longer have a lot faith in Noah's competence in progression an ark, i ought to ask you to carry it through an upcoming hurricane." I did so, and because of this God switched over me into the first mermaid, the ancestor of all mermaids to come back! easily, that isn't extremely all the way it went (even although very very close!) As for the life of mermaids, one ought to evaluate all the "mythological" memories of (distinct yet all appropriate) water gods *coughs*fallen angel*coughs* having descendants of mermaid-like creatures. Very exciting certainly...

They got vaccinated before going silly. Even if they weren't. People lived close to animals back then. So, they built an immunity at an early age.
Of course it never happened. It's just entertainment,mythology,folklore,superstition. None of that stuff happened for real. The Bible is just a book of early movie scripts,Fantasy,Drama,Mythology writing taken as Holy scriptures. Until the movie industry was born and overshadowed the Bible.

they weren't sick....and most germs can survive in some of the harshest environments imaginable. there are even bacteria that can survive in an environment without oxygen.

It's a creation myth. It isn't literal.
