10 sick days is not too extreme. People can, and do, get sick. It is better for everyone if sick folks do stay home and recover. Even private industry recognizes this simple fact and usually gives a sick leave benefit.
ALSO,
Michigan has cold weather and lots of O’s alien invaders are being dumped into MI to try to keep MI in the D voting column. Some of these ‘nice IslamoNazis’ and other foreigners bring in diseases, as can be expected. American citizens’ immunoresistence to such pathogens may be low or non-existent, due to the previous lack of exposure to same inside USA. Therefore, such diseases can spread rapidly to many American citizens.. and can be more serious, too, than they usually are in their Islamic and other countries of origin.

I just turned 62. I don't work through colds like I used to, not in today's cubicle/open office environment. Throw in time for semiannual medical checkups, there's a good ten days there.

However, in a good year, 40-60 hours will go unused, and carryover to the next year.

In Mich you need 10 days just for the drinking water
