Our department has had a influx of covid positive cases and have seen people brushing off sneezing/coughing as hayfever and still coming into work. It's no surprise with the Fringe being on that there's an influx. But I'm still surprised people come into work unwell still.

Protect others and stay home if you're unwell and test when you have symptoms to avoid spreading it.

Edit: comments below have taught me different perspectives and circumstances.

I understand that some people are forced to work despite being COVID positive because of being casual/contracted which will take a hit financially. Or if all sick leave is exhausted leaving people with the only option to take sick leave unpaid, and they have 500 a week rent to pay.

This is honestly a failure that's on our government for not supporting a social security net for housing and cost of living... No one should be forced to work sick because they can't feed their family or pay the bills.

This post is mostly directed to those who are in a position to stay home, who have the sick leave, and rock up to the office anyway when they're contagious. It's just selfish.

... UBI when? :/
