    Or at least stayed home when they were sick. That was such a nice cultural change from COVID that I really hoped it would stick around. But nope, people went right back to just “toughing it out” and going to work/school while sick.

      People in my area/life (most) aren’t given sick days and are expected to use their short (if even able) PTO allotments. If they take a vacation and get sick later - their options are work or miss bills. To me, I understand why folks tough it out. I’d like society to care about health for the whole, most can’t afford to do that.
