My daughter tested positive for covid and at the same time, I felt fatigued with other mild symptoms. My family isolated for the time given by the Florida health department. I returned to work after two weeks and wore a mask when others were present. One of the the guests that came to my business has sent me a demand letter for lost revenue because she canceled her students’ music lessons for a period of time after coming to my business. I own a recording studio and this person had been there several times prior.
OK I believe what you're asking is that this individual who sent you a demand letter is demanding money from a lost business opportunity because she contracted Covid Because you exposed her to the virus without any kind of warning that you had it, and therefore she feels that you are responsible for her business losses because of her health condition?
OK if this is the case, she would have to still prove that she contracted Covid from your store or restaurant, and that she has to prove that there's no other store or other individual who She contracted the virus from. This is the issue of proximate causation and is part of every civil lawsuit that is brought in court. It is a very high hurdle, because she could've contracted that anywhere.
So I think that this is a laughable case, and you should retain counsel and write her back stating that if you file a lawsuit against me I will file a malicious prosecution suit against you wants to court throws your case out of court.
