Currently hacking up a lung sick at work but can’t leave

I took COVID tests and it’s not COVID- just regular illness. But still; my head is pounding and my throat hurts and I’m coughing every ten seconds it seems. I worked from home a few days ago, but came back in. My company operates under the guise that they care about work/life balance. Today is the last day of the month (work in manufacturing) so we have to ship everything. With my position I’m basically a professional babysitter making sure people do their fucking job. If I’m not here, the work doesn’t get done and then I’m to blame for it. So when people say “Just work from home” or “go home, it’s fine”. No it isn’t. It’s like that meme “Well yes but actually no”. In theory they will let me go home- but then nothing gets done and I’m STILL responsible. So fucking sick of this shit (literally).
