This is all fairly standard.
But the best advice is to hunker down, avoid close contact and touch points, and wash your hands. Do not use a shared hand towel; use paper towels and dial soap in your house and carry purell in your pocket and car.
I’m trying to avoid getting sick before I return to work next week, and I’ll be vigilant in the office.
Honestly, I’m beginning to wonder about some of my friends and loved ones who are constantly sick. I’m wondering if they don’t take precautions or wash their hands.
If they have kids even college age kids that come home from breaks, it’s really hard not to catch it from them.
