RochesterRob Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 31 minutes ago, SectionC3 said: Maybe you're right about that. But let's not pass the buck here. There's a principle in the law that there can be more than one proximate cause of an accident or event. Even assuming (probably very safely), for the sake of argument, the the Chinese government bears responsibility for part of this mess, I struggle to see how it's unfair to say that the ineptitude of our own federal administration has not also contributed to the current predicament. Bottom line: fault here isn't an either or proposition. Surely the Chinese government bears responsibility for what has happened. But the fact that one government or one actor bears responsibility doesn't mean that another actor cannot also be culpable. So can somebody who legally resides in NY sue Cuomo for damages for an irresponsible shutdown that cost the plaintiff his means to support himself? Since I have no qualms with the federal government to this point we have nothing to discuss there. I'm thinking that if Obama or Hillary were in the WH the response would have been similar. In the case of those two they are much better speakers than Trump but that does not make them more intellectually capable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch was saying something yesterday (again) about shielding businesses who reopen from liability. I wonder if a state already has that shield when it is part of a national disaster declaration? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
