-I\'ve been sick more in the two years in Sweden than in the ten years
-before that.
-
-Why? I have a theory about it and after briefly discussing it with one
-of my roommates (who is experiencing the same thing) I\'d like to share
-it with you:
-
-Normally when people get sick, are coughing, have a fever and so on they
-take a few days off from work and stay at home. The reasons are twofold:
-You want to rest a bit in order to get rid of the disease and you want
-to *avoid infecting your co-workers*.
-
-In Sweden people will drag themselves into work anyways, because of a
-concept called the
-[karensdag](https://www.forsakringskassan.se/wps/portal/sjukvard/sjukskrivning_och_sjukpenning/karensdag_och_forstadagsintyg).
-The TL;DR of this is \'if you take days off sick you won\'t get paid for
-the first day, and only 80% of your salary on the remaining days\'.
-
-Many people are not willing to take that financial hit. In combination
-with Sweden\'s rather mediocre healthcare system you end up constantly
-being surrounded by sick people, not just in your own office but also on
-public transport and basically all other public places.
-
-Oh and the best thing about this? Swedish politicians [often ignore
-this](https://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/article10506886.ab) rule and
-just don\'t report their sick days. Nice.
