*shrug* when Chris is sick all I pretty much do is clean the house. We aren't the most organized folks, and for some reason him getting sick brings out the anal retentive Martha Stewart in me.
That, and I make myself comfortable on the couch (or bedroom if Chris is on the couch)- when he is sick he will moan and thrash around in his sleep, which not only keeps me up but after I got unintentionally slapped in the face, I decided that being in another room is probably best.
It's funny- because he is an RN, and has been exposed to norovirus quite a few times at work thusfar (a few patients on his ward had it, and also 2 floors at his hospital were on quarantine)- and so far he has been fine. I think he has gotten a possible stomach virus once in the past 2 years, but I think it was less of a virus and more of a migraine. He vomitted a grand total of once from it.
Sure, I think it's important to take precautions- but I think if you go overboard it is actually worse for your anxiety, because then it becomes ritualized behaviour (ie- if I don't do this I will get sick). Hand washing, yes, important. Sanitizing the bathroom and other surface areas- also important. But I think once you go beyond that, its a bit of overkill.
