It depends on the type of "sick." My standard allergies, for example, are annoying but neither contagious nor likely to prevent getting my work done; I go to work with those. But if I have something that renders me unable to think well, exhausted to the point that I need rest, or contagious, I stay home if I can. If I can't stay home, if there's a task too critical, I often will go into work, snag my laptop and notes, and leave again to work from home. If it's utterly critical I work, it's very rarely critical that I do so in the office, and definitely not worth giving my coworkers something nasty.
