When Caregivers are Sick

What do you do when the caregiver gets sick? I caught a cold from my mom, who had caught it from either a grandkid or the flu shot her and dad got. Now I am trying desperately not to pass it on to my dad. That's not a very easy thing to do, though, when I have to help him stand and walk several times a day and fix coffee and food and get his pills for him and and and...

I've decided that caregivers need a supply of them face mask things like surgeons wear, so that at least when they are in close proximity to the care recipient they can avoid coughing on them while still using both hands to keep them steady and help them move from chair to wheelchair etc.
