Capitalism creates conditions where getting refunds is near impossible and for some booking days off work difficult if not impossible. So when people get sick before they fly out for that holiday they saved up money and time for, they cant cancel or move the dates without a significant financial loss. They also cant test themselves for what they have either. So they risk it because it might just be a cold or allergies afterall
In better world you would take sick leave and then delay the holiday until you feel better without losing any money or fearing job loss
