I am deadly allergic to bleach.  |
I have a way that seems to limit the household transmission of this virus, but the first step is buying a lot of latex gloves and bleach (or Lysol III). You give the sick person their own bathroom for the duration, and sanitize it before anyone else uses it. Also just very careful handling and sanitizing things the sick person touches when they're sick before putting them back in use. I strongly suggests my sick kids stay in their own rooms until they feel better but we will bring them a TV/movies/games and anything they want there (flat coke! jello!) and don't let siblings bug them, so they kind of like it once they're done puking.
