Are people expected to suffer the disruption of having a substantial number of people taking two weeks off to recover from this disease with a non-trivial chance of needing medical intervention?

Are you going to be willing to postpone all medical interventions for the next three months because there's just not going to be available hospital capacity for your broken tooth?

It's substantially more than two weeks for people who get a worse case of it, by the way. I had a mild case and was off for two weeks. If you get a more severe case, and especially if you need hospitalization, you're looking at at least a month of recovery. This virus attacks your lungs, which take a lot longer to recover from than your typical cold or even flu. The best comparison as to how long you're out of commission for is pneumonia.
