Exercising when sick is more often than not a good idea. Doctors overprescribe bed rest because it’s the safest course in terms of legal liability, not because it seems best for the patient.

There was bedrest prescriptions WAY before legal liability became an issue. Bedrest permits the body to slow down and heal.
