Got training coming up and a cold

Hi,

I really hoped a cold would jog on by now, which leaves me a little unsure how to play training at work which starts tomorrow and is in person with others.
(I normally work from home so was able to cover it up last week but off to a bad start today with all callers saying have you got a cold, you want to be in bed)

I've tested for Covid but that came back negative. I think it is more a sinus problem with a bunged nose. I've tried loads of otc medication but it isn't shifting.

As the trainer, would you want to know in advance?

It's just a cold. Wear a mask if you want to be nice to the other attendees. No need to ring the organiser unless you are too ill to attend.

I was a trainer for many years, and I would not give a wotsit that someone has a cold! I mean, if I had a cold I would still have to deliver the session, so I don't see why the delegates can't turn up as well. It's just not an issue. At all. Go to the training!

Ok thanks, I was concerned I won't take much in and I'll pass it on to others and it hasn't been something I'd wish on my worse enermy, but fortunately I work in a work place that doesn't seemingly give a stuff if someone is under the weather I did wonder if I was being silly. Thanks for the reassurance.
