Oh! I dont think anyone is debating that its absolute madness.
Especially in light of what we (should have) learned through COVID. If you're sick...stay home.
You may not need a Doctor. You may not need a Hospital. Some people still even get....and I know this is insane...but they get 'run-of-the-mill' ill.
I know right? What losers! If its not a life-threatening illness then what even is it amirite? Who has time for that? Nobody!
But then you've gotta haul your ass out of bed, drive to a Doctor thats probably busy, sit in a waiting room which is probably busy, all so that someone in a labcoat can confirm that you are, in fact, indeed ill, scribble on a magical notepad to attest as such.
Or...they could take your word for it.
Unless you're a Brain Surgeon trying to cough out a few extra sick days to hit the links in Cabo its probably all going to be alright.
