The coronavirus pandemic has brought a serious health care issue to light: guaranteed paid sick leave for workers, which even the Trump administration is giving some preliminary indications of supporting. In the U.S., where 1 in 4 workers do not have paid sick days, the economic necessity for people to get a paycheck can overwhelm the public’s need for sick people to stay at home.

And now, it seems, even Fox News — whose offices are located in a major city now hit by the virus — is catching on.

Fox News personalities have long expressed opposition to paid sick leave as a government policy, whether at the federal level or all the way down to individual municipalities, often branding it as an “entitlement.”

Back in 2015, Fox Business host Stuart Varney staunchly opposed an Obama administration proposal for workers to be guaranteed one week of paid sick leave on the grounds that the costs would be borne by employers, calling it a political ploy. “This has got nothing to do with ethics. This is all about politics,” Varney said. “The president is lining up all these giveaways.”
