When your significant other gets sick, do you still sleep in the same bed?

My wife and I do, we feel not sleeping together really isn't going to affect whether we get sick or not. By the way, she's just getting over a bad cold and yes, I woke up with it this morning. What are your thoughts?

People spread colds before they even have symptoms. I'd only sleep separately if tossing and turning, coughing or such disturbs the person who's not sick yet.

@seaglass Yes, another opiner did mention a bad cough. That's annoying and did push me to sleep in another bedroom when she kept me up. She didn't like it at all but understood why I did.
