That's not the point.

The (government's) point is that one employee taking a sick day is stealing a day from their employer. Just like public holidays and annual leave. /S

Preventing the spread of sickness by isolating when one is sick (you'd think that we all still remember 2020) reduces the total number of sick days that all employers pay for.

It's basically an anti-employee dog whistle at this point.

Completely agreed.
