I really hope this will stay forever, or at least until people don't learn to stay home when they get a cold

Not everyone can afford that, with a fear of losing their jobs.

Possible, but it is hard to implement in a failsave way.

How can the new employee proof he was fired, because he was sick too often?

last time i tried to stay home [from a public facing food service position] due to the flu i was fired over Christmas. until you change the culture around working through illness and the punitive nature of sick days, especially for those with children, people are not gonna stay home if they think they can tough it out.
