That's unfortunate. I know how stressful it is even here to be sick, because despite getting infinite sick leave in theory, you still fall behind at work, which is already unpleasant enough by itself. But it's also frowned upon to come to work when you're sick, because you're either risking other people's health, or simply not taking care of your recovery (which will have a negative impact on your productivity).
