Eh, the other comments are overreacting. If I was vomiting constantly, of course I wouldn't try to work.
But if I felt contagious-but-not-really-impaired, just sneezing or whatnot, I don't see any reason personally why sitting (at home) at a computer and watching Netflix is going to help me recover faster than sitting (at home) at a computer and working.
