Humans can get diarrhea, yes. Scours is just another word for diarrhea, and most certainly they can get it from calves, from vectors like E. coli 0157:H7, salmonella, campybacter spp. and Cryptosporidiosis parvum, all bacteria that can transmit from young calves to humans if good hygiene (i.e., washing hands, cleaning boots and clothing, etc.) is not followed.

No. Scours in calves is caused by a variety of conditions and diseases that are often unpredictable and unable to be caught with one type of treatment. Most scours occur in cold, wet environments or when a type of bacteria found in open soil gets into the calves' systems.
