How do you feel about workplaces (not only legal) telling employees they’re “essential” and must come to work when they aren’t strictly within the “essential” parameters (per CISA)? Examples? Contd..

Will the employer be held liable for COVID contraction? Let’s debate.

I won’t pretend to understand what it’s like to run a business. I don’t know the stress and responsibly that comes with keeping food on the table for other people. However, with that said, it’s been frustrating to me because everyone wants to stay open and operate business as usual. However, some businesses follow the rules and when others try to argue that they’re essential, even though they’re not on the list of essential businesses, it looks like they think their livelihood is more important than others. It’s short sighted and selfish, IMO. I don’t take for granted how privileged our profession is to be able to work from home & my heart goes out to those that are not working right now, but we’re all in this together and need to cooperate. & yes I think that employer should be held liable for COVID, but unless the employee lives alone, doesn’t go grocery shopping, and doesn’t do anything other than go to work and hide out at home, it’ll be nearly impossible to prove exposure fame from work.
