U.S. House members plan to introduce two bipartisan bills Friday that address the origins of the coronavirus pandemic and would allow victims' families to sue China.

The first bill, the "Made in America Emergency Preparedness Act," would establish a 9/11-style bipartisan commission to investigate how the pandemic started. It is being introduced by five Democrats and five Republicans.

The second bill, dubbed the "Never Again International Outbreak Prevention Act," calls for allowing families of coronavirus victims to sue China by stripping sovereign immunity from it and any other countries "that have intentionally misled the international community on the outbreak." It will be introduced by U.S. Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Pa., and Conor Lamb, D-Pa.

So, the US will allow their citizens to sue China for Covid deaths. Interesting. Although, I do not totally agree with this. This is a clever move to prevent military action in future against China if they do pay the victims out. I would much rather prefer military action as retribution for those who died if this Virus had indeed been released and spread from China.

There should always be consequences for actions, but in a case like the Coronavirus pandemic, the consequences should be more than severe.

What sort of military action? Why would the US want military action against China? Would it serve any purpose? Why do YOU prefer military action?

Will you volunteer to go and fight in this millitary action, or do you expect others to fight the wars that you advocate for from the comfort of your couch?

Reminds me of the smallpox outbreak when certain people landed i the Americas. That and I see a lot of questions being asked now about the US past and their reparations for plethora of sins I their own country.

Shame.. innocent country getting hit hard as they advocate hitting others.. glass houses and stuff
