Your boss is stupid. Does he want you to come in and cough your filthy germs into the rest of the office, or to take the day off entirely? There are plenty of states of "sick" where I'm not going to the office (contagious, constant need for the bathroom, headache exacerbated by fluorescent lights) but could get most or even all of a regular days work done at home.
I think they might have meant "don't work - just rest and get better"
Is there a similar generator for excuses to call remote worker to office?
It's just a website that says: "There's a production incident, we need you to come in."
Sick, seriously? If I would call my boss and tell him I'm working from home because I'm sick he would say no you don't.
But if I felt contagious-but-not-really-impaired, just sneezing or whatnot, I don't see any reason personally why sitting (at home) at a computer and watching Netflix is going to help me recover faster than sitting (at home) at a computer and working.
"502 Bad Gateway", the perfect excuse!

Eh, the other comments are overreacting. If I was vomiting constantly, of course I wouldn't try to work.

Also, possibly save your coworkers from the infection. I'd rather have my coworkers take a WFH than come in if they feel low.

Cold and flu kill old people. By going into work you are spreading disease to your co-workers, who then spread it to their family, who then risk death because you didn't want to work from home.
