With 7 days separating symptom onset between the couple, it doesn't seem likely that they were infected by the same source. It's not proof of H2H transmission, but it is certainly is strong circumstantial evidence.

Were either the wife or husband in contact with poultry?

What's that saying???....."absence of evidence is not evidence of absence"

Could be H2H (or not).

Heard today (relative to interpreting BF news): "When you hear hoof beats, think horses, not zebras."
