You have received some good advice. Take would him on walks, go to playgroups, mall, etc. Except, if you know someone is ill before you visit than I wouldn't take him. Also, if you notice someone you are with has a bad cold, just politely say you have to leave. Other than that I would treat him like any other baby. My daughter was diagnosed at a month old. I tried to keep my daughter a bit isolated her first six months. She actually caught more colds during that winter than she has any winter since. I also wanted to socialize with my friends and it was depressing not too. My kids have done great going to playgroups, music classes, preschool (starting when they turned two), Sunday school, etc. I always told myself I could limit ourselves if my kids got sick too much and they never did. They actually have caught a lot less colds and virses than my friends kids.

Pretty good advice from every angle here. We coddled a bit too much Thomas' first 6mo but have learned to let go and enjoy. I firmly believe in normalcy - the only things we do differently are: 1) ask if any kids are sick if there's an event w/friends' kids (not that you'll ever get a straight answer); and 2) walk away if we're out and about and a kiddo starts in unexpectedly with a heavy cough near Thomas. We also generally avoid indoor play areas (like the ones at malls).

Otherwise we hike, travel, visit family/friends, shop, go to the zoo/park/playground/museum with Thomas like anyone else. Enjoy your little one!
