If China did allow this virus to escape, and covered it up shouldn’t they be held liable for trillions in economic damage, as well as compensation for victims around the world?
- slightwinder 6y agoWhy should china be held liable when it was the labs fails? Or even more specific someone in the lab? Would the USA be held liable when some lab fails? Is USA or even the company itself held liable for tech-companies fails on security or protecting privacy? I doubt there is some legal paragraph which would work here, even in International Law.

There's a lot of accidents that happened in the West, specifically the US. Some known, some not. The West just got lucky but would never admit it either.
