Question

Should I go to work if I have the flu?

I have work tomorrow and I have come down with the flu and I'm so tired and drained. Should I call in sick tomorrow at the office or should I go ahead and go into work?

If I stay home from work when I have the flu how long should I stay home from work when I have the flu before going back to work?

Answer 1

I would call in sick and not go to work tomorrow since you're coming down with the flu.

First off you might not be as productive anyway since the flu zaps the energy out of us and second you might spread your flu virus to other coworkers and even catch a more serious flu virus from the coworkers.

The flu should be taken seriously as several people including children have died this year from the flu virus so please do call in sick and stay home.

Stay home for a few days after the flu has gone away which is usually after 10 days.
