When you are sick
You have two options:
1) Rest at home
2) Go to work
The first one shows irresponsibility on the employee's part because he will then be incompetent in finishing task-at-hand and lead to lost of man-hour. The latter results in similar act of irresponsibility because he/she will inevitably spread the virus/illness to co-workers in the same workplace, causing a local pandemic.

Now on the employee's part, it's 2am in the morning after a nice valentine's day dinner; coupled with the consistent coughing and the blocked nose which both exacerbate the breathlessness, insomnia is resulted, which is highly likely to reduce the willingness for early reverie and even if the before-mentioned is done so, efficiency level at work will be greatly compromised.
