Because that's exactly what he's done since the virus started, and now he's gonna do it even more because he doesn't give a damn about quarantine. I wouldn't put it past him to cough on people to spread the virus further. |
There are cases where people have been found guilty of homicide in some form for knowingly spreading disease, particularly AIDS. But that's more for physically spreading it yourself, which arguably he's done.
More likely it would be wrongful death civil suit. That's tricky due to the first amendment.
I think you could make a case, but it's kind of a pipe dream.
