Norovirus: He likely was infectious -- i.e. able to transmit the virus -- for a day or two before his symptoms started, so you probably were already exposed. The precautions you're taking now are smart, but don't be surprised if you come down with it. However, even among exposed persons, only about 60% get symptoms, so there's still a good chance you'l escape it. Good luck!
