Nah...ain't happening...

But the amount of the virus present in saliva is generally not enough to transmit the virus, so I don't see how it was a deadly weapon. I mean it's gross when anyone spits, but with the lysozymes present in saliva...

That's what I was thinking. Hooray for all of those years of Drug Ed!

Still, spitting on someone is freakin' nasty!
