Should I call work and say I'm Sick?

I've been having whooping cough which I've got video evidence

I've also vomited now.

I know many many guys who are on sick leave for months. Requiring a medical note.

I honestly don't think I can physically do the job and I'm sick

The thing is I've got a course on Thursday which I need to go to and they'll give me a full time contract

I could have a rest day and still make it

Whooping cough is a specific and serious illness - have you been to a doctor? Or do you just mean that you have a chesty cough?

What does your contract say about sick leave?

If you have actual whooping cough, it is highly contagious and you may need antibiotics to stop it spreading to others.
