This isn’t like coming into contact with asbestos.

I'll go one further. There is ZERO negligence on the part of the business EVEN IF it is somehow proven that someone caught the virus at the business.
That depends upon what actions the "business" takes. For example, if a business advertises itself as being safe and taking precautions but then does not take reasonable ones, and if the business is an NBA team with thousands of fans, many of whom all contracted the virus within 5-14 days of attending the same game at a time when new infection rates in the area was very low, well . . . that might not be so hard to convince a jury as to negligence and causation.

If major sporting events open, they will be sued on the same grounds: that they knew their venue could spread Covid.
You think the people attending the sporting even don't know the potential to catch it there? Ever heard of assumption of risk?

Here's the scenario dumbass:
And your scenario has the obvious flaw of not being able to prove a negative.
If your example person came from outer space, attended an event, then immediately went back to outer space then it might be proven.
Otherwise, the person infected could have come in contact with the virus as it was suspended in air or surface borne without direct human contact before or after the event.

Not to mention, that particular business didn’t force you to go there

They didn't sue the chemical, they sued the provider based on the grounds they knew it could cause cancer.
So in this case the Wuhan lab. Good luck trying to sue them.

Litigation Nation... This is quite predictable, and inevitable.

Because in LA you can sue for everything and if you play your cards right and ask for a certain amount, you can get a sympathetic judge to make the call on your behalf.

Person A infected with Covid.
A was at home for 3 weeks prior to event.
A attends event with thousands.
A tests positive for corona a week later.
They then leave said event and do not interact with another human or go anywhere else for the asymptomatic period?

You think a jury is going to see a lot of doubt there?
I would hope the judge would throw it out on its complete insane arse.

Why not sue the person who gave them the virus?

The onslaught of virus related litigation that is being cooked up by the usual scum is going to be something the likes of which we have never seen.
