This is real easy to say to people who largely don't get sick days, oftentimes don't have PTO, and are far more likely to be unable to absorb a week without pay. If I take off work because I'm sick, I simply lose that money. Young people continue life like nothing is wrong because doing otherwise is not an option.

- volkk 7y agoyou're focusing only on one uncontrollable thing. the point is to be responsible and lower as much as possible the daily contact you have with people for a while. there are plenty of yuppies where I live who still dont mind going to extremely hot and packed yoga classes, or going out to bars or partying, etc etc. none of that is required, at all, in your daily life.
