According to a report, at least seven federal lawsuits have been filed against the Chinese government over the spread of the deadly coronavirus, with some specifically singling out the Wuhan Institute of Virology, as US intelligence is now ‘near certain’ that the virus leaked from the lab there.

Fox News reported that “Americans across the nation are really seeking now legal remedies of their own…targeting the Chinese government, seeking reparations of trillions of dollars in damages.”

the report notes that “Five of the lawsuits do not seek a specific amount of money or damages. One, however, wants China to fork over $20 trillion, while another wants $8 trillion.”

.And I'd wager everything I have that then ChiComs would win there.

Yes. That should take about five years. In the meantime, and beyond, the whole bad juju will have a chilling effect on U.S. and western businesses undertaking new ventures or expanding old ones. Come on, international blood-suckers, Vietnam, India and Malaysia are calling!

Tell that to Iran.

Ex post facto laws are unconstitutional.

Does that apply to foreign countries? Bill of Attainder certainly don't, as there's plenty of laws dealing with specific foreign countries. Also, it's not really ex post facto if it's dealing with China going forward, not turning something they did in the past into a crime. Even in retaliation for what they did, criminal law is a murky area in dealing with foreign countries. It doesn't generally really apply to sovereign states.
