Well, you did say he should draw in bed, kinda implying you wanted him to draw while you were aware he was ill. That's somewhat more than complaining about his irregular schedule.
Seriously, Togashi can do whatever he wants, it's not like more Hunter chapters are the most important things in the world. I'm glad we even get any chapters at all.
But yes, this would have turned into a boy cried wolf situation, given people's annoyance over his previous breaks (regardless of whether there was a reason or not this time, because the previous ones didn't).
It's just a case of "you're ill, you can't turn up for work". Those who know that are mature about it. Let him take his needed break.
