Query:

Hi, I am working on a story about the next coronavirus relief
package. Republicans want to offer liability protection for
restaurants, factories, hotels, hospitals, universities, nursing
homes, to make sure employers can't get sued every time a worker
gets sick. This could save more than $100 billion in litigation
costs to employers and ultimately workers, according to an
economist. What is your view on the liability protection? As a
business owner are you concerned about coronavirus-related
lawsuits? Do you believe this protection should be included in
the next bill? Do you believe this is an important factor in
opening the business?
