I am a college teacher, and people in my work environment, both students and faculty, routinely try to power through minor illnesses. Which, of course, then spread quickly around campus. But we take the risk because classes and meetings are very difficult to re-schedule. I do not have to worry about using up an officially allotted number of sick days, but I do have to worry about another ethical obligation, which is to try to give my students the education they are paying for. No easy answer!

But I hope you got to see your friend in person, Ev.
