May sound far fetched and extreme, but if told that is what will happen the offender might reconsider and think of his/her own best interest. Just a thought.
And impractical as well. For it to be considered assault, you would have to 1) prove the person has the virus, 2) they knew they had the virus, and 3) they had the INTENT to spread the virus (mens rea applies).
No DA would ever attempt to try such a case
