As Tyson rebuffed calls from the local sheriff and health officials to close the plant in early April, its manager, Tom Hart, "organized a cash buy-in, winner-take-all betting pool for supervisors and managers to wager how many employees would test positive for COVID-19"

Most managers at the plant were avoiding the facility's floor by late March or early April due to fears of getting infected, designating authority instead to lower-level supervisors without management training

One high-level manager told supervisors to keep showing up even if they had symptoms and to direct workers who reported to them to follow suit. One worker threw up on the production line but was allowed to keep working

Immunity for employers such as this

Remember, employers already enjoy broad immunity from lawsuits from workers' compensation laws

Look up Workers' Compensation. Currently, you can't sue your employer unless there is intentional conduct by the employer that causes injury

Which is what the law should be

Businesses have protection. Judges, juries, the rules of civil procedure, statutes and case precedent
