I really, really hope that "coming to work sick" is considered bad form from now on, or even outright against policy.
It's always been dumb: at best they're just getting more people sick (some of whom will need to take time off, negating any supposed benefit of the sick person not just staying home in the first place), and at worst it's spreading a flu that eventually results in someone dying.
On top of that, a massive number of companies have just proven remote work is possible, even during entirely non-ideal conditions (lockdowns, virtual school, high stress, etc).
