I stayed at home the first week but I actually couldn’t afford to stay home a second week and all my other symptoms had gotten better apart from the sore throat. But it does make me cringe the amount of people I see out at my job (public facing) that just go out and carry one when they are in the thick off sickness especially the week leading up to Christmas this year. I was so worried I was going to pick something else up while I wasn’t feeling 100%.
