I always preface my call with "boss, I'm doing you and the office a favor by staying home today." Viruses spread like wildfire, we're all touching the same things and breathing the same air, three days from now I'm working alone because the other members of my team caught my virus and stayed home.

And my provider encourages me to skip session if I have a communicable disease, for the same reasons. Imagine every client in the waiting room, and every office employee, and T catching the virus.

This request sounds like bunk to me!
