There is a thing called viral load. It's how much infection you get the first time. Say you pick up a few viruses floating around. It will take about 60 hrs before you come down symptoms and your body has a chance to fight back.

Now if someone coughs and you're in the direct path of it. And you get a truck load of viruses. You may only have 4 hrs before you show symptoms. The virus will hit you harder because your body had less time to start fighting it.
