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.

Bull. It's not about us who don't have to fly.
Our young military men and women have to fly on commercial flights when going to and from furlough.
All the pilots, flight engineers, flight attendants, baggage handlers, gate workers, etc. have to be on board the planes and in their ground positions.
The airport janitorial staff have to handle and breathe near soiled Kleenex, paper towels, soiled menstrual pads, etc., and so do the garbage collectors and haulers.
The TSA have to touch and breathe next to sweaty people and their belongings just gripped by people wiping their runny noses with their hands or who are emptying their pockets of their soiled handkerchiefs or tissues.
The nurses, technicians, doctors, firemen, and paramedics have to be on duty on the front line where infected people come first when they're vomiting, have diahrrea, etc.
The hospital housekeeping and laundry staff have to be in place to change soiled bed linens, haul the bins to the laundry, empty the bins and do the laundry.
Cafeteria workers have to handle and dispose of napkins people spit into and blow their noses on, and leave on the tray or cafeteria table!
And then possibly exposed, they go home to their families and nurses like the ones from Cleveland Clinic go back to work with their already sick patients who often are immune compromised.
Etc etc etc etc etc
