This one is discussing the rules about re-opening businesses. One rule (Pennsylvania) says you have to send anyone home with a temperature of 104.5 degrees or greater. Zoinks! Who would feel well enough to even go to work like that?

Edit: It's actually 100.4. That makes more sense.
I was going to say, doesn't the brain get damaged at temps that high? I was guilty of going to work sick most of my life. We never had sick pay until the last few years when the state made it mandatory (3 days per year @minimum wage). But the main problem was when I took time off the (crappy) work would pile up and I would be swamped when I came back. I remember shivering at work, coughing uncontrollably, and sleeping in cars. During my last couple years there I promised myself I wasn't going to work when I was really sick.
