Bradford factor is an equation of sick absences totted up to send you down the paper trail to oblivion.
Ah, I'm self employed...sick = no pay

But when employed taking time off sick with a contagious illness was actually a good thing for the business...certainly wouldn't take as holiday!

Yes but I’d rather save sick leave for potentially more serious long term things. No point having 1 day off sick, you may as well have a full week.
 
Flu Jab for me.

my 21 year soon was a late get his jab and was so ill with - he couldn't keep anything down, had raging chest pain, diarrhoea and at one stage was vomiting blood - he lost 2 stone in weight and was off work for 3 weeks. It was awful to watch.

That’s terrible to hear. If you was into cycling fitness losing 2 stone would seriously reduce your FTP too.

Strep throat is definitely an import we could do without.

I haven't read the entire thread but if I'm honest I've done okay this year, threatened a few times but come to nothing which usually means I haven't been hanging around with the usual suspects in that regard.
Yes, kind of a agree, I had what I thought was the lurgy from hell . Forward 7 days and nothing. I considered a lucky escape.
