Tired of Being Shamed for Being Sick

Is anyone else tired of their boss(es) being passive aggressive or straight up rude for following the laws surrounding COVID? I currently have it and am on business day 7 of being off, I got hit hard by the second “wave” of symptoms and likely need a couple more days to recover before I can legally go back to work…but my boss is so passive aggressive about it that I feel guilty and pressured to go back— even though I know I shouldn’t. Starting with my first job, being sick always has been shamed and looked down upon ESPECIALLY if you took time off to recover. I’ve never understood how it makes you look like a “better worker” to just “tough it out” and risk getting everyone else sick.
