I should be able to sue plague bearers for lost income

Bollux - You should be grateful if someone gives you a dose of lurgy.

It gives your immune system a workout, and may help prevent cancer.

You read that on the daily mail?

I only have one more thing....ah........ah aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah


choooooooooooooooooooo !!!!!

Alas poor OwlHoot succumbed to pneumonia and died. At least he didn't have cancer though.

A&Es are good at treating pneumonia though a lot of GPs don't recognise it or recognise how serious it is for a particular patient.

I'm part of the "take it and get on with the job" club.

No sickbed for a sniffly nose here.

[Hobosapien]

When based on site my yardstick is if I feel it's safe for me to drive then I'll go in.

Covers illness (man flu or the trots are the only things I remember being that bad), heavy snow, or still being drunk from the night before.

Dose up on Lemsips, give them an hour to kick in and if I don't feel any better, day off to sleep it out of me; otherwise, get in, blow nose, keep billing.

[NibblyPig]

There is a difference, if I am WFH I will work through almost any ailment because I'm comfy and I can whinge and blow my nose and sniffle and curl up in a duvet etc. but going into work when feeling ill is the worst, I feel it is a type of dedication I became a contractor to avoid, even before the fact I don't want to infect others

I take public transit so I keep getting these damn things: third cold in as many months. When I was walking to work I got maybe one. Sadly no universal keyfob handout so I come in or I don't get paid. I've had one sick day so far; I just cough on everyone and get on with it.

They're mostly contractors so I figure if they get laid low I'm saving the client money!

You can sue anyone you like, you don't need permission

Social services?

I still remember Typhoid Mike who cost me a week's billing back in 1999, just before Xmas.

The lurgie he disseminated was sufficient to make it difficult to stand up, much less go to work.

And the leaving present from one place was chickenpox, which was 3 weeks of absolute misery.

How much Chianti did you drink with those?
