    Ha that’s funny. Bills don’t stop because you’re fired for skipping work, and being sick and homeless is a death sentence in the US as many shelters turn away anyone visibly ill.

      Yeah, that is a deeper rooted problem in America. Hope you guys can address that for yourselves in the future.

      Staying home because you are sick is not skipping work. Look at how engrained it is in all of these replies. I think its time for guaranteed sick leave. We can’t really control it.
