Do you think Congress should give blanket immunity to companies from lawsuits from workers who contract Covid 19 while at the workplace ?

Nope. Companies have a responsibility to protect their employees from preventable harm. If the company does not make good faith efforts to protect its employees it should be liable for harm to employees. I have worked at places where an employee ignoring safety requirements is subject to immediate termination. I have also seen places where management does nothing to protect the workers or enforce safety rules.

That depends: what is the thread count of the blanket?

No. If it can be proven that a company didn't adhere to recommended precautions **and** that the affected worker(s) couldn't have conceivably contracted the virus from another source (e.g., a spouse who had recently tested positive for the virus), then the company should be held liable.

Yes, so long as the companies were taking reasonable precautions and were following appropriate CDC guidelines at the time (note that CDC guidelines have varied widely over the past year).

No, I think that's a terrible idea. Companies have business interruption insurance, disaster insurance, general liability insurance, etc. If a business shuts down or reduces hours it can make a claim on its policy... multiple claims really.
That's why the insurance exists. The money won't come out of the pockets of business owners, it will come from multi-billion dollar global insurance conglomerates.

No blanket immunity for companies . Workers rights should come first . McConnell and the GOP are holding off on a badly needed pandemic relief package because they are inciting on a corporate protection from workers who might get Covid at the workplace . They are not mandating that the workplace be Covid protected .
