ABC News Online: Thousands sign up to US class action to sue China over coronavirus
Thousands of Americans have reportedly signed onto a class action lawsuit in the US state of Florida which seeks compensation from the Chinese Government for COVID-19 damages, as Western politicians increasingly call for accountability.
According to a statement from the Miami-based Berman Law Group, the lawsuit "seeks billions of dollars in compensatory damages for those who have suffered personal injuries, wrongful deaths, property damage and other damages due to China's failure to contain the COVID-19 virus, despite their ability to have stopped the spread of the virus in its early stages".
The firm said it "looks forward to fighting for the rights of people and businesses across Florida and the rest of the country, who are now becoming sick or caring for loved ones, dealing with financial calamity, and navigating this new world of panic and social distancing and isolation".

What a world
China won't pay a cent. Ever. They will deny, deflect, obfuscate and propagandize. Maybe even start a war. The only recourse is to declare all debts owed China null and void.
Every single one.
Then we cut them off from world finances and confiscate every overseas assets
I agree. All my Chinese friends believe what their government tells them. Full on propaganda, because they only read Chinese news. 0 integration. 0 understanding. Full on culture and cold war. We are there. Now.
