If anything people are more aware of impacts of being truly sick. Take the day or two and get better. As an SM, is rather shift the work or inform of delays than getting something crappy because you’re feeling crappy.

Just thought I would ask if it happened to anyone else.

Maybe it was just a coincidence too
