[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What would everyone who can't possible take any sick leave do if they were sick with something else?  [b]Wouldn't you have to take an advance, LWOP, vacation?[/b]  [/quote]
Yes. The hysteria here is just that. [/quote]

I would have phrased it entitlement more than hysteria, but yes, +1.[/quote]

This is a different sickness. When I have the flu I take off when I have a fever and then come back to work (2 days usually). Or I can telework.

With covid you’re contagious for weeks and sick for weeks. And because daycares will close, work won’t let me telework. [/quote]

Majority of people do not have affects worse than the flu.  And when you go back after two days with the flu...you are still contagious btw.[/quote]

If you’re better in two days from the “flu” you probably didn’t have the flu.

Using sick days for when you are sick makes total sense to be. It gets sticky when you’re asking people to quarantine after they are no longer symptomatic (or were never symptomatic at all).  You really think people are going to burn through their personal leave for the good of society? Dream on. You either give them incentive to stay home or accept that they will be back out there once they feel better. It is what it is. [/quote]

This is a fairly ignorant response. People who get the flu after having the flu shot (yes, including me) generally have much shortened “sick” periods. The last time I had the flu was a few years ago. I tested positive. I had a fever for about a day, and after that get better. Vaccines work y’all.[/quote]

This is why it’s always best to follow the 24hr policy that daycares and schools require. Although it seems like for this virus that is not sufficient[/quote]
