Tell me where you are now and I'll come meet you. I'll cough and sneeze a few times in your face, put my snot tissues in your hand, and wipe my sweat from my chills on my hand before I shake yours.
Bwahahahaha

It's worth mentioning that just because someone is symptomatic doesn't mean that what they have is contagious.

And to add to the initial post:

If you’re not sick, don’t call in sick repeatedly! Your team members have to pick up the slack.
