In addition to the fear of the health issues that they may face because of the coronavirus Americans are also concerned about the financial hardships that they will face. People are terrified of losing their homes, jobs, loved ones and more.
Coronavirus Bill
For them, the COVID-19 pandemic has created an intertwined health and financial crisis that threatens them and the entire country. The great challenge for each individual and for the nation as a whole is to overcome both crises together. In today’s economy there is no manual for this.
More than in any previous economic collapse, American consumers are at the heart of this crisis. Not only are they at risk of becoming ill, they are also being fired, their credit cards limits dropped by their banks because their jobs are being shut down to prevent others from being infected. As a result, they are unable to spend, forcing more companies to close, and so on.
For consumers, the cosmic injustice of this whole situation is mind numbing. Still there are those that believe that the situation they are in is solely the fault of china. In their eyes china should have done more to protect the world from this virus. Some are even suggesting albeit quietly that China should foot the bill. What do you think? Should they get billed? What is reasonable? What should be included in the bill? Share your thought in the comments area bellow!

There is no way any country could collect from China. It is too powerful to bully it is not Iran or Panama.
This is not the time to provoke china we need to work together to get over this pandemic.
yes we should not provoke them. There is still a lot they are not telling us about this virus apparently it attacks more than the lungs. It would be ideal if they just came out clean. But this is china we are talking about they even banned Winnie the pooh https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/aug/07/china-bans-winnie-the-pooh-film-to-stop-comparisons-to-president-xi
I would assume the only way we could collect is if we take over their assets that are in US soil but most likely a very bad idea.
Unilaterally trying to collect from china will hurt the US in the long term. What the US needs to do is get a coalition of the willing and try to coordinate with them when to Seize whatever Chinese assets each country has within its border. I bet you a lot of countries will participate if the US leads.
China could have done more by not allowing its population to travel overseas. They shut down all flights to Beijing but kept the doors open to the rest of the world. For everyone’s sake I hope it was unintentional.
Here is an article on this subject Thousands sign up to US class action to sue China over coronavirus https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-04-20/coronavirus-china-sued-american-class-action-germany-sends-bill/12164106
For some people who lost loved ones to this pandemic no amount of money could replace what they have lost. What china should do is apologize to the rest of the world for what they did or did not to stop this.
If this applies, China and the world should send a bill to US for the 2008 crisis.
Lawmakers introduce bill that would let Americans sue China over ‘Wuhan Virus’
Sen. Tom Cotton and Rep. Dan Crenshaw have introduced legislation that would allow Americans to sue China in federal court over the death and economic damage wrought by the “Wuhan Virus.”
“By silencing doctors and journalists who tried to warn the world about the coronavirus, the Chinese Communist Party allowed the virus to spread quickly around the globe,” Cotton (R-Ark.) said in a statement.
“Their decision to cover up the virus led to thousands of needless deaths and untold economic harm. It’s only appropriate that we hold the Chinese government accountable for the damage it has caused,” he added. read rest by following link

China should take responsibility for not immediately informing the world of the deadly human to human transmission of this virus. Then they should shoulder a large percentage of the cost associated with treating sick people in hospital as well as the cost of shutting down the US economy
