>you typically don't get mentally ill from being in proximity to a mentally ill person. (At least, I never have.)

You also don't get physically ill from being in proximity to someone with a non-contagious disease or a sprained ankle, so that's an irrelevant distinction.

Sick days are not just for flus and colds that are contagious...

Flus and colds are by far the most common uses of sick days, so I wouldn't say it's "irrelevant."
