I'm all for opening the economy back up but I just hope those that do are taken care of. Part of me feels like some of this is punting off responsibility if anything goes wrong.

There could be some new precedents set especially in liberal venues but I would imagine it would be extremely difficult to hold a business liable for someone catching a virus. Every business open though would be well served by requiring all of their employees to use proper PPE. That could go a long way if such a suit was ever brought. It would also be difficult to prove exactly where the employee contracted the virus. Interesting nonetheless.
