The court cases that McConnell sites as justifying a liability ban for employers is a mere trickle

Mitch McConnell is holding up legislation to provide aid for the election, for unemployed workers, for public health and public schools, for the Post Office, and for state and local governments. What he wants in exchange for any of this sorely-needed aid is liability for employers for lawsuits claiming that lack of precautions caused workers to contract COVID-19 and become sick or die. But careful study indicates that there are not very many such lawsuits being filed.
