Pro tip: If you know someone has issues with their immune system, tell them if you get sick. If you have plans, let them know you’re sick (yes, even if you’re “mostly over it”). If they choose to risk it, then at least it’s their choice, and they can take extra steps to avoid catching your bug.
If they ask to reschedule, or do go but refuse to touch you or get to close, don’t get angry. Don’t be offended. They’re literally just trying to look out for their health.
Even if it’s a scratchy throat, or you feel a little stuffed up, and you’re not “really sick”, still say something.
PLEASE.
This includes temporary or short term compromised immune systems like someone on (or with a relative on) chemo or someone who’s got one of the “walking” viruses that makes them more susceptible to other illnesses, or people with strained or complicated pregnancies, or anything else I’m forgetting here.
I also like to let people know if I have gotten sick within 24 hours after seeing them, so that they know I might have been contagious and they might need to try to pre-empt anything I passed on.
