Stay off of airplanes. The plane you may be boarding in Orlando, or New York, or Chicago might have been carrying passengers from Western Africa yesterday.
Stay off of cruise ships. Cruises are notorious for having infections.
Stay out of hospitals, nursing homes, or any medical facility including doctor's offices. Any place where sick people congregate is where germs abide.
Stay away from crowds.
Stay out of public swimming pools. These have more than their share of bodily fluids...enough said.
A little common sense can go a long way.

Death by cancer: One every 56 seconds
Every six minutes one American dies in a hospital from a medical error or lethal infection.
