@juergen_hubert Yeah, that's a valid reason.
I'm just mad at people who carry their cold into the office rather than work from home or, y'know, calling in sick when they definitely are

Well, yeah. But I live in the United States. We gave up that "civilized" stuff a long time ago.

Yeah, if this cold persists, I'll stick to working from home for next week.

@juergen_hubert remember that those doctor masks are what you wear to avoid transmitting, the FFP is to avoid receiving.
