1. No one is asking you to stay home for three weeks because you have a "lingering cough." The first 1-2 days when you're contagious (which, you know, you're not after three weeks) will suffice.
2. You are not so busy that you can't take a sick day once a year.
3. Your sick leave is not so bad that you can't take a sick day once a year
4. It's not "hysterical," "dramatic," etc. to not want to get sick and spread it throughout your household
5. If you have telework, as the OP of this thread specifically mentioned her coworker did, you can use it when sick.

Or, if you're worried about getting sick from someone else, you can wear a mask. Or isolate at home.

Mask only helps so much as you both need to mask and air filters. Bigger problem is some viruses are surface based so its on everything the sick person touches from the door handles to the bathrooms.

No. Read the study linked on the other page. Masking works. And it sounds like you need to always mask since you’re nasty and don’t wash your hands!

I mask at work - doesn’t affect my work product or relationships with coworkers. Too many people around sick to not.
