People will always come to work sick. It's what we do in a capitalist society. Getting exposed is not the end of the world unless you have a major immune system disorder. You need exposure to keep your immune system strong. Some people think the reason we are having so many people with infections now is the immunity gap or immunity debt that we got for the lock downs and social distancing during the pandemic.
How were other people reacting around her? Were they all wearing masks? We have some people who were sick come in with masks. When I got a cold I didn't mask up and no one said anything.

Thank you for your thoughts. I struggle to have a "live and let live" attitude because while I know I can't control anyone other than myself, I don't like it when people take advantage of their workplace by coming in sick. As a former teacher, I was around sick students and staff all the time. Sure, it builds up immunity, but it also spreads disease. That's how Covid-19 SPREAD. Ahem.
If you are sick STAY HOME. I don't need her virus. She needs to respect everyone here at the office and stay home. It's disrespectful. It's lazy. It's selfish. to show up to the workplace sick.
Doesn't matter what type of society we live in. It's about respect for me, at the end of the day. If you make your entire office sick, your business can suffer in many ways, especially financially, deadlines get pushed back on projects, meetings get rescheduled that can lose a customer, effect a sale.
There is no common sense reason to come to work sick. Period.
