This is an area where I think we would do well to consider how other
countries do this. My understanding is that civil cases in England put
much more of the burden of proof on the plaintiff, and that the loser
pays legal bills. So you don't sue a company unless you either (A) Know
with very high certainty that you'll win, or (B) are willing to pay the
company's lawyers when you lose.
This would seem to pretty much eliminate frivolous "ambulance chasing"
and slap suits.

that would be awesome if tracing showed that and then the company, and
every other person he infected turned around and sued his greedy
family into oblivion

Another point that occurred to me is that everybody just seems to
assume that he contracted COVID at work. What if he got it
somewhere else and he was the one that brought it to that plant
and spread it?

Seems like they employees should be suing the union, after all
that was who they were paying dues to to protect them in the
workplace. Apparentl the union did a pretty crappy job.

There are 2 separate issues. Having the government
tell everyone they must wear a mask is one thing. A
business requiring customers wear a mask to enter
their store is another. The second actually
correlates to your example and is certainly the right
of any business to put certain requirements on using
their facility (within lawful limits of course). If
people don’t want to abide by their requirements, they
are free to go somewhere else or stay home if no one
will let them in their place of business.
On the other hand, I assume that it will eventually
come before the Supreme Court to decide if it is a
violation of some “right” or other to be told that
everyone is required to wear a mask in public.

To those saying "why should I have to wear a mask when
in public".... do
you also complain about "No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service"?
