Well, if I'm dead it's fair to say that I'm not suing anyone. Who is going to pay the staff? The hotel, but I'm also assuming if you are quarantined there isn't going to be regular housekeeping. I don't have any idea how the hotel industry works but I wonder if the hotel's insurance policy would cover any of these costs. It is a business interruption. For that matter, what happens to someone with a non-refundable room who now can't check in because the hotel is quarantined?

Lots of questions and it will be interesting to see how it all plays out.

But again, I don't believe I should have to pay if I'm forced to remain quarantined in a hotel past my planned check out date against my will. I don't see a jury awarding a hotel damages against a customer who can't pay in this instance, either (if it came to that).
