I think the common sense approach is a good one. If someone has a cold tell them to stay away, get some clorax wipes to clean door handles, phones, common surfaces etc. It's important to have support through this experience so don't cut off your friends they can be a big help to you. Some days neither of you will want to talk to anyone, answer your phone or see people - but that shouldn't be every day. Stay connected.
Good luck with the treatments. Regards JoAnne
