One of the things I don’t understand is the issue of these universities being worried about liability.
1. The problem would seem to be that you have to prove where they got the virus, which I would think is impossible.
That’s why I don’t get the liability thing.
How the heck do you prove where, when and how the virus was acquired so as to claim that the school (or whomever) is responsible.
but....
2. You’d have to prove “damages” somehow. So, I don’t know what you could get awarded if you never even displayed symptoms or that you were never hospitalized or that you never had to pay for any of the medical care you received. You didn’t miss work, so you don’t have lost wages.
And if the claim is that others got sick because of you, it would seem that you would have to prove that as well. And that individual would be the one to have to file the lawsuit
The only way I think you’d be awarded anything significant is if you did have a significant medical problem as a result and for those under 23, that’s going to be extremely unlikely. But, that person would still have to prove how they got the virus
Maybe, there is something I am missing
