Pretty easy to sum this up: people don't take sick days because: - They aren't given that many - Medical expenses are HUGE - There's societal pressure to not take them - It's easier to fall behind in work (and get fired if you do) I really should count my blessings - I rarely feel sick enough to take a sick day - maybe at most once a year. I understand that other people aren't like that, and I'm fine with that. As long as everyone is doing their part, and we're all pulling together, it's all good.
