Tom not every absence is due to a contagious disease. And maybe she works on the perfume counter in the pharmacy………or should absenteeism be encouraged just because you work in a pharmacy. It’s the fact you are out that is the issue. Not the reason. Things are not black and white.
Actually, yes I do think it should be encouraged. Lots of us live in cities with shockingly little thought put into public health at the city planning and built environment stage – and then everyday thousands and thousands of people go to work and mingle all of their diseases together in one giant melting pot of multiple drug resistant disease.
One day, something is going to come along that makes the world resemble the walking bloody dead – all in the name of profit.
