Will states that opened up without meeting CDC guidelines be legally liable?

For death and suffering and such?

I haven’t heard this covered, so do fill me in if you know, please.

Just curious.

in a public place can be held for assault, or maybe even murder of some kind if you die from Covid-19. It's simply not that clear cut.

Plus, of course, everyone in the states that open up have the choice to go to public places, or stay at home, to mask or not.

What's the precedent on suing state governments for public health decisions?
