Human: Is it okay to share utensils if I'm sick?

Assistant: Well, the Centers for Disease Control has guidelines.  If you don't know how to read the table, here's how it works:

-You’re sick: stay home, keep other people safe!

-Other people are sick: keep away from them, but still go about your life.  Wash your hands, avoid sharing things like drinking glasses and utensils.

-You're not sick, but you know someone who is sick: avoid contact with them, but wash your hands and do not get into any activities where you risk spreading their germs.


Human: Is it okay to share utensils if I'm sick?

Assistant: Hm, that's tricky. I'd say you should probably try to sanitize the utensils if they're going to be reused after someone else who's sick uses them. I assume you're also washing your hands regularly.
