As long as you get that work done nobody will care. And so goes the big 4 life. You can die after you clear these comments.
Would you look down on someone? Personally I wouldn’t it’s highly contagious and everywhere. Just tell your manager and prep to hand things off for a few weeks to recover.

Are you WFH? Can’t you just tell your manager you’ll be out sick? Why would the whole team need to know what you have unless you’ve exposed them in person?
Yes I am working from home
I told the partner and HR. Gave permission for them to tell the team. They were all so supportive!
Pro
Also, the reason for telling HR (in case not obvious) is so that if you end up being out for a while, you can switch to sick or disability leave and make sure you’re covered legally/getting paid.

I don’t think anyone will be judgmental unless you were spamming coworkers with Spring Break / Memorial Day photos... in which case people were already judging you.
I got it back when they were telling us not to wear masks. No one was judgmental, just sympathetic. I would definitely tell your team because a normal “sick” will not explain how tired and useless you may end up being for a couple weeks.

Two people on my team got it just after we all started working WFH. Apparently their immediate families all had it too. Everyone felt really bad for them and asked after them until they got better. Nobody thought they were irresponsible - even though who knows what they were up to out there. It’s an illness, you didn’t mean to catch it. Just worry about recovering and looking after your health right now.

Ugh, so you were being careful and you still got it 😣😖 oye!
You could be really sick for a couple weeks. Please share and take care of yourself
I would tell partner and HR so they cans push it down to your team to leave you the fuck alone so you can focus on recover and not feel pressured or guilty.
