if i get COVID 19 from a restaurant who knowingly made sick workers work, and i have documentation that the managers made the sick employee work even after being informed of the worker's illness, i'm too depressed to finish this question? I guess is a business liable for making sick workers work?

Speaking of covid-19, my apartment complex has just announced that they will be holding all non-emergency repairs and maintenance work until "a later date" due to concerns about contagion. I'm in Oregon - can they legally just blanket refuse to fix things indefinitely? My one experience with their standards for "emergency" was them taking their sweet time fixing a broken AC during a heat wave This is hypothetical in the sense that I fix my own poo poo and actively don't involve the maintenance "department" in anything less than an emergency ANYWAY so I am completely uninterested in fighting this, but I'm curious how hosed my non-handy neighbors are Javid fucked around with this message at 22:09 on Mar 12, 2020 |

I'm guessing the causality would be "restaurant worker tests positive for corona, followed a week later by a bunch of people who ate at that restaurant on x date". odds of success depending largely on the size of the company backing up the restaurant, probably.

You could always file a complaint with the state health department even if you don't get sick. In my state managers are required to send employees home who have certain symptoms (not just a Covid-19 specific thing) and are required to sign a form acknowledging this fact and are required to have staff sign a similar form. And I'm not in a progressive state, either.

Hypothetically, I now know *multiple* food service workers with flu-like symptoms and shortness of breath who (as former poster pointed out) can't get tested and are told to report to work reguardless.

You can only get tested if you have symptoms and have been in contact with someone with a confirmed case. You can see how this prevents people from being tested.

The dude was a Nepali shift worker (legal resident) who had no employment protections in Australia, either, though he did have access to a test. Some delightful folks in that thread were calling for him to be imprisoned. The world is crap.

T.C. posted:Are they seriously paying poor people, in worse situations, less money? This is a loving atrocious distinction between 'taxpayers' and 'people'. The republican senators think it's "more effective stimulus" to enhance unemployment (which pays out based on people's salaries) than to give out lump sums to everyone: the current plan is a compromise between them, to still provide some cash payout, but to scale it to people's incomes the same way unemployment insurance is. The white house/house democrat plan doesn't do that. We won't know what a final bill looks like till the house and senate hash out their compromise. e. woops, this is the legal thread? Weird thing to be talking about here.

Are the laws that governors are using to declare states of emergency and order things closed generally the same across all states? Is there an equivalent law at the federal level, or would the 10th amendment make that not possible? What kind of limits are there on the use of emergency powers like we’re seeing?

Could a judge or government official, like say a Governor, issue a blanket order for people who meet some criteria they decide (over age threshold but not serving a life sentence, for example) be released from incarceration? Supposing there were some kind of emergency situation, like a pandemic. Does this power exist, or would every incarcerated person have to petition individually? I suppose it varies by state, so I would like to know which states might or might not. Like, could this dude issue that type of order in California? Edit: to be clear, could this be done without legislative action?
