39. Thank you for sharing your story.

To be honest, I prepared myself since the beginning of COVID that I would eventually get it because of my family connections. I am relatively young and in good health. I am vaccinated and boosted so I have a very low risk even if/when I eventually get it. So it's easier for me to stay quiet than making a big deal out of it.

And that dinner was productive otherwise because my aunt got my kinda anti-vax dad to get boosted. I say kinda because while he buys and says all the stupid republican anti-vax stance (personal choice, Omicron is no worst than flu, etc), he still got his 2 shots previously and boosted after that Christmas dinner.

Part of it is the work culture in the US for mixing "sick days" and "personal days".	Claustrum	Jan 2022	#9
It's true. We shame the sick, and don't provide for them at all.	nolabear	Jan 2022	#13
Yes, there is a work culture that punishes people for taking sick days.	Claustrum	Jan 2022	#19
Very true. In some people's minds all possible absents are rolled up and used for vacation	captain queeg	Jan 2022	#30
