Quote of the Day

Burden of proof is always on the plaintiff. A relative, who is an ER nurse here in New Jersey, has the virus for almost 4 weeks. She got it after leaving one hospital and starting work in another hospital. She can’t prove that she got at work, or from a supermarket when no mask wearing was required. The same would apply to almost all workers, customers, etc, anywhere.

Mike: Indeed the burden of proof is on the plaintiff, but it becomes moot when immunity is granted, if your point is that it would be difficult to prove where and when one gets this deadly virus, you are 100% correct. But corporations certainly are fighting hard to deny your relative any chance of proving them even partially responsible, and in the case of meatpacking plants where workers by the dozens are forced to work shoulder to shoulder indoors in poorly ventilated spaces it is not rocket science to figure its really dangerous. Corporate immunity is not going to become law, just the fact that its being floated around when millions are out of work already shows a callous disregard for the safety and well being of those who have to toil at difficult low paying jobs…
