So do I. But if I take more than 3 days, I need a doctor's note, which means I couldn't self-quarantine; I'd have to go into town to see a doctor. And if someone is going to stay home because they think they might be coming down with something nasty, they'll usually need more than 3 days. The American workplace just isn't set up for disease prevention.I have been fortunate since I got out of the military I have had jobs where I could call in and not lose pay. I also have been fortunate in that I don't get sick a lot so calling in doesn't cause raised eyebrows at work.
