Typical "back in my day" garbage. Why would you even want people to come in and spread their sickness? Wouldn't that cause even more lost production time?

...not if everyone is afraid to use sick days / lose wages / repercussions from management / yadda yadda yadda

Regardless of whether they are present or not, if their productivity is down the drain because they can't focus or are in pain, inefficiency rises, output and profits fall.
