That's not my point at all. My point has nothing to do with sueing the IETF.
The *company* sent their *employee* into danger, and if they get sick, they
have recourse to sue their employer. Yes, somebody forced the employee to
go to that country: the company paid for it.
Was there force involved? probably not really, but it was an expected part of
their job. The company is therefore liable for keeping the employee safe.
So company won't send people until they feel secure that they can say they
took the right precautions. "The CDC said it was safe" is a reasonable
precaution.
