Potentially a higher initial viral load. Definitely a higher chance of contracting. People stuck with infected on a cruise ship likely have a higher death rate because they are getting it from all sides, rather than merely fighting it off once.

Its multiplication, not addition. 1 * 1 * 1 * 1 etc is still 1

I learned this as the bolus effect, ie the amount of pathogen in the initial exposure increases likelihood of infection. To me the term viral load is used more in something like Hep C as a measure of virus in the body.

Or put another way, will my infection on average be less severe than someone who works in an infected hospital and didn't know it?

If those two people had two different strains, it would be worse.

I'd guess you might, depending on how different the "flu" the two people had was (from each other's). Maybe different for coronavirus strains: they have a "proofreading" mechanism that reduces mutations (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21593585 ), unlike flu (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2937865/ …).

A single contact vs multiple contacts (or sustained contact)? Both could get the virus, but the brief single contact would start slowly giving the body more time to react than with what would happen with multiple points of initial infection.
