One is a human being, so when one is not healthy, one can't work at your typical 100%.

Like at school and work, when you are ill, you can do properly your activitites, so the boss or the teacher needs to be more flexible and understand it instead of being more demanding.

The physical changes are not compared, however, with how you feel at the moment: weak, drowsy, prefering to stay in bed, feeling headaches or stomaches, etc.

I don't because I get tired so easily. When I get tired I mess up on even the pieces I could play with my eyes closed! I don't get very far...

I wouldn't practice while feeling ill but having fun playing the piano would probably help you feel better.

If I wouldn't have practiced I wouldn't have gained the skills I have today. The longest I have been ill was 6 months (it WASN'T nice, let me tell you that).

So yeah, I still practice when ill, although normally not as much as when I am not.

I usually don't practice that much when sick.
Funny? How? How am I funny?
