Discourage ill people from still going to work
Many of us still soldier on when we are a bit under the weather. That needs a dramatic culture shift, whereby it's no longer seen as being tough or consciousness. Instead, it's seen as selfish and reckless. Politicians can reinforce this message, but employers need to support it (including through a more compassionate approach to absence management). And colleagues need to shift their attitudes from thinking "someone is being helpful by making it in to work and not let the side down".... To thinking "they are potentially endangering us all". Some gentle peer pressure from fellow commuters of the person coughing and sneezing next to us could also help.
Why the contribution is important
It will help limit the spread of the virus, especially as many carriers appear to have quute mild symptoms. It may also limit the spread of other illnesses. We can ALL do it and the cost to businesses is really modest.
