Patient Zero is number 5.

12, 13 and 14 are excluded by the third rule. All the other students have had a room share with someone that is uninfected at the end.

The newly infected each week are
  • Week 1 - 14
  • Week 2 - 4 and 6
  • Week 3 - 1, 9, 11 and 13.

stepurhan noted that, epidemiology and the exponential expansion of infected demonstrated by this puzzle is a good reason for not rotating room shares

A thread most controversial, that’s what I want to start
Full of impassioned arguments, of posting from the heart
And for this stimulation all will be thankful to me
On come on everybody it won’t work if you agree
