This is my first time posting. Like everyone here, I am petrified of throwing up. My dad just threw up downstairs. I'm upstairs right now, and washed my hands right away.

He had a cold a few days ago, and now I have he cold. Is that easier to catch than the stomach virus?

Should I be okay as long as I stay up in my room, keep washing my hands, and don't come in contact with him or anyone that was by him?
