I was actually thinking about this from a “sick day” perspective the other day. I was responsible for running our lost time numbers during covid and unfortunately with WFH and policy changes there was a ton of noise in our data to make any solid conclusions about overall corporate impact. Anecdotally, a common comment around the office is that people are getting colds more frequently, with worse impacts, and longer recovery times than before covid. We’ve actually had a few cases of pneumonia that required hospitalization. I’m assuming we are seeing more sick days taken now vs prior to covid, but being able to WFH while your sick instead of taking a sick day likely skews the numbers too much to do any proper analysis.
