Edit: The Athletic is my go to sports page. Fantastic. The top 100 is worth a years subscription in and of itself.
If you work and get Covid there is a presumption under Workers Comp that it’s work related.

Etc.I doubt any plaintiff's lawyer interested in making money would take any of those cases, or a million other similar ones. There would be strong defenses, not the least of which is that causation would be almost impossible to prove. The strongest cases might be employees suing their employers for failing to take mandated or reasonable precautions, and I'm not sure that would be such a bad thing. BTW, I'd bet the reason why the CDC's recommendations to the meat packing plants were watered down to the level of suggestions "if feasible" was to decrease the potential for such lawsuits to succeed.
