Exercise is good for some illnesses, as laying around doing nothing means your body is slowly loosing muscle strength. Moving helps keep the blood flowing and the heart rate up. And doing things means you take your mind off of being ill.

Plus, I'm SURE everyone at school/work/etc really wants to catch what you have. :-/

My father was also old fashioned.

To top it off I'm a carer of someone who is constantly ill, so when I feel ill they don't understand why I make such a fuss. They are not as bad as my father was on that issue, but having someone criticize you for a minor cold or flu doesn't help.
