Forgive me for butting in, but as SLF I can't believe what you are all being subjected to.
If you're sick, you're sick. I don't patrticularly want ill CC serving me when you should be at home in bed recuperating. I don't know how the union works with you, but this really strikes me (sic) as being something that the union should go into bat for you.
Just my 2d-worth as an outsider.
