In fact, if you follow the news closely, you will see that businesses are lobbying for liability protection if they reopen. Google "Covid-19 liability risk".

As an attorney, I'm sure you realize that proving one specific potential exposure by a preponderance of the evidence is probably impossible given the numerous potential exposures every day. Likewise, it would be impossible to single out a single customer that transmitted the virus to a server.
