> You're taking his fever dream excuse at face value
Being sick with a bad fever is awful, it's a nightmare, and I cannot imagine making good decisions at the time.
I do not know if he was ordered to work while sick, but there are often implicit expectations in workplaces and this was a time-sensitive article.

You don't know if they were even sick at all. In fact, when someone gets fired for cause, it's quite common for them to lie about the circumstances. That you take their comments at full value seems kinda naive.
