I don’t.
Yes, although sometimes past mistakes make this harder. I work for a company with an official policy of “if you are sick, stay home, don’t try to be a hero and get others sick!”. It even shows up on walls around flu season. I have never heard of anyone getting in trouble for calling in sick, but lots of people come in and work while sick, and some have indeed been called heroes for “working through a difficult time”. (note: this is at a work place where a lot of things could even be done remotely).
I have no doubt some people in the management chain, maybe even the majority of them thought the sick policy of “stay home!” was a good one, but it wasn’t really carried out. When COVID-19 came they had to face the reality that they already had a decent policy, but it wasn’t being followed and had to strengthen it with “please stay home and report symptoms to XXX and call YYY, if you develop symptoms during the day go home and contact your manager form home, if others notice symptoms we will send you home”.
(and yes my own example shows an existence proof that you can get yourself out of that hole, if your management chain is aware of what is really happening)
At any rate, sure, the meat processing plant is also to blame.
