Uhg, no. Such things are very bad advice. Healthcare is operating on most cases very lean (partly due the privatization of healthcare) and it would have killed more people if resources were diverted from unavoidable health events to an avoidable one. Every time a physician has to spend 30 minutes with a patient with severe coughs that could have been avoided, that's time that could be reserved to other patients. Every call to 911 would put strain on our health services. Also, lets not ignore the economic consequences for poor families of potentially losing breadwinners individuals due bad luck, also lost of productivity since instead of working from a safe environment, they would get sick.
