Also, lets all not forget the LOVELY managers out there we've all either encountered or read about....
You know, the ones who demand a person come in sick, thereby spreading their germs around, thereby causing a major epidemic in which the whole fucking company gets sick."So, if you wanna put places like that outta business, just stop being so rock-chewingly stupid." ~ Raudf, 9/19/13

Basically she should have stayed home, yes.
But Pneumonia is not a contagious disease, it is not even a single disease.
Pneumonia basically means inflammation of the lungs, and it responds to dozens of different conditions and can even be caused by allergic reactions, and most cases of it are not contagious at all, and many of those that are already require a weakened state to thrive, as in you much already have a cold.
Not to mention many cases of pneumonia will not even make you sick, you lungs can get inflamed and you can just live with it and only cough a bit and it will go away.
To make it simple Pneumonia is to lungs what Tonsillitis is to Tonsils, it can mean almost everything.

Quoth AccountingDrone View PostI have COPD, and any time I get a cold, or exhaustion of a certain level it rolls into pneumonia.
I was given the vaccine to prevent infection by 23 types of bacteria that cause pneumonia-though I'll need a booster in 30 years....Honestly.... the image of that in my head made me go "AWESOME!"..... and then I remembered I am terribly strange.-Red dazes
