There are many people who can't afford to take days off work even when they are ill. The CDC should be recommending that employers give workers paid sick leave, not making it easier for bosses to exploit workers by saying it's fine to work when you are sick.

@luckytran While more sick leave is absolutely necessary for many industries, the long term reality is that people will not be able to take enough sick leave to cover the entire infectious period of all the various circulating communicable diseases. We need a cultural shift towards wearing well fitting masks for the infectious period when well enough to work. Eg this example from Ontario Ministry of Health
