When not to share

Published

on

As we all learned in kindergarten, sharing is a wonderful thing. Unless you are sharing your cold.

According to a National Sanitation poll of more than 23,800 workers across North America and Europe, 75 percent go to work sick. About 20 percent of respondents said they always go to work when they’re ill, and 55 percent said they only take a sick day if their symptoms are severe. Just 25 percent said they stay home and either work from home (10 percent) or take the day off (15 percent.)

According to the Centers for Disease Control, the changes of getting sick in the next year are 5 percent to 20 percent.

Presumably the 20 percent is for people who get colds from others on the job.
