Should I still go volunteer at the library with a little cold?

Last night I started having hot flashes, tossing and turning, aching and coughing. I’m not aching anymore because I took ibropofin. I still have a cough and a bit of a soar though, stuffy nose. I’m not badly sick, I just don’t feel well. One of the girls said, “Well you promised you would help…can’t you toughen it out for two hours? You can toughen it out and then go home afterwards. Some people go places where there a little sick. There’s people that go to work sick. Come on (my name). You HAVE to come.”
What do I do? Nobody believes I’m sick and I can’t just stay home will a “little cold”. Come on, there’s still covid around. I don’t have a fever which is good. Mine is 98.5.

IMO you should stay home. If you have a cold, you will spread it onto almost anything you touch and anything and anyone you cough on. My former employers used to hate people who would come in sick...because very shortly EVERYONE would be sick.

@4meAndyou Good point. Don’t worry I didn’t go. The girl got angry but I don’t care.

I feel like you should stay at home until you feel better , theres no point going just in case you faint at the libary or feel too ill to go because you cant do your best and you will get sent home too.

Dont go. Just because you only feel a little bit sick doesn't mean you won't pass it on to someone else who gets really sick from it. Different illnesses impact people differently

Well, if you are certain. The symptoms are not all identical between people. If you have a test kit, what's the harm?

@CommandLine I don’t have one. I just don’t wanna get anybody sick

@LaylaTheTallGirl Stay home then.

Do a covid test, just to make sure. If you don't have it, you can go.
