Well, because I've had the flu before, and it felt like a bad flu, but I took a covid test every 2nd day and every single one was negative, so apparently it wasn't that.
I suppose it could have been some other flu-like illness of which I am unaware.

No job is worth sacrificing your health. Even if you think you're indispensable, you're not - if you were run over by a posse of demented clowns tomorrow, the world would still go on. Make the time.

In this case, if I'd been run over by said clowns, it would have resulted in a loss of money for a business in the low 8 figures. 95% of the time, what you've said is true, I could disappear and others would manage, but in this case we just had two major things that ended up being scheduled within a 3 week period and in one case my involvement was absolutely necessary, while in the other it was "end of the world" crucial.
What I really should have done was not wait a month after I got over the original illness, but when it had only been a couple of weeks since I'd recovered I was still thinking "I'll give it a bit and it'll probably get better".

Self-absorbed, selfish attitudes RRGMG.

If you'd read my post you'd realize that I'm NOT sick. I have no illness that could possibly be transmitted. The illness that I DID have, during which I stayed home, caused some sort of lasting damage to my lungs that is causing me to cough. So, in closing, go #### yourself?
