NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Governor Bill Lee on Monday signed a bill into law that will protect businesses and others in Tennessee from "frivolous" coronavirus-related lawsuits.

The law applies to lawsuits moving forward and extends limited COVID-19 liability protections to health care providers, businesses, schools, non-profits and others.

Lee is always a step ahead in carrying out chumputin's agenda.

Superyacht Owners Escape For Open Waters With Hospital Rooms And Private Nurses

The sun was setting off the coast of Panama this week as the 285-foot superyacht Lonian sat securely anchored next to its spectacular 216-foot support catamaran yacht, Hodor. Among Hodor’s cargo is five tenders, including a 55-foot chase boat, Jet Skis, and quad bikes. The support yacht also prominently features its own custom hospital with a private nurse and 20-person crew for its billionaire owners.

Most yachts over 300 feet contain mini-hospitals, or secure medical rooms, and yacht nurse staffing agencies can barely keep up with the increase in demand following the coronavirus outbreak. As yacht owners find themselves virtually isolated in their foreign locations, the need for onboard medical protection is an urgent necessity.

I spoke with several experts in the industry, and they say that numerous superyachts are currently traveling to or already in secure locations near private islands far from the maddening crowds of possible infection.

4. this may not pass legal challenge

but that doesnt generally stop republicans.

The concept of limited liability is pretty well established in law under most circumstances "except for matters that cannot be disclaimed for public policy reasons" ==> such as wrongful death.

So..... this will be interesting to see how this plays out in the courts.

To get equivalent protection against diners who get food poisoning at their businesses.
