AIBU to complain to HR?

There's someone in my office today who says they have been throwing up all yesterday evening with terrible stomach cramps.
Yet they have come to work.
I suggested to their manager in conversation that they shouldn't be here putting everyone else at risk and the manager said they would send sick person home.
Just looked up and they are still here and will no doubt be using the communal loos, the kitchen etc all day. Should I just butt out and get on with my work or can I ask HR to send them home?

HR is not the work equivalent of telling someone's mum.

You've told their manager. That's enough. If you are unhappy with their response then raise a grievance.

I work in HR.
I would call the managers manager and tell them to get the person sent home.
Don't usually get involved with welfare crap but for the sake of everyone not getting ill I would in this case.
Raising a grievance wouldn't be effective as it's an immediate situation that the sick person needs to go home.

I also work in HR. I was being facetious about the grievance.

It's the manager's job to deal with. Maybe after the manager spoke to them it came out that the person has had food poisioning or another condition which is not the op's business and is not a health hazard to others.

Even if they are a health hazard it is the manager's job to deal with it. Running to HR is not how grown ups behave in the workplace. Management manage.

It could be a food intolerance or poisoning? It could be bad menstrual cramps with sickness a side effect of the pain?

Yabu overall.
