> But if I felt contagious-but-not-really-impaired, just sneezing or whatnot, I don't see any reason personally why sitting at a computer and watching Netflix is going to help me recover faster than sitting at a computer and working.
Cold and flu kill old people. By going into work you are spreading disease to your co-workers, who then spread it to their family, who then risk death because you didn't want to work from home.
The flu also kills healthy adults. Get your flu shots. Etc.
But yes, I have great distaste for people who could work from home while sick and instead ruin the productivity of the entire office for what can be months afterward.
