It's going to go no where in US courts (otherwise in twenty years time, some one like say Palau, would be able to sue us Americans over global climate change).

People should not get needlessly alarmist and attribute too much planning and forethought and high ideals to the current anti-China propaganda blitz being conducted by the Trump administration where none exist.
This isn’t the start of some elaborate multi-decade scheme, it’s just your home bargain blame-the-foreigners racist dog whistling that demagogues have always turned to in order to deflect criticism and whip up their base.
Trump absolutely shat the bed with his inept handling of COVID19, that will directly result in tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands or maybe even more Americans dying needlessly. He does not want to bare that responsibility, so he is re-writing history and shift the blame on China. It’s not that he fell asleep at the wheel and didn’t take any of the many steps he could have should have done to try and head this crisis off before it got started; or to control and contain it before it spread beyond all hope of control. No, it’s them sneaky secretive Chinese who ‘covered up’ the outbreak and didn’t do anything to try to stop it spreading to the rest of the world and who never ever warned anyone about just how dangerous this virus is.
The crudeness and sheer audacity of the propaganda campaign betrays the desperation behind it. It’s a message so crude and c even long time American allies like the British are censoring it from their own populations because they know there is no way their own people won’t see right through it.
Prominent US right leaders and personalities are directing people at ridiculously pointless activities like law suits against China because that is good displacement activity that will amount to precisely zero.
If people are busy screaming at China and drafting pointless law suits, they are not screaming at Trump or organising to oust him.
It only seems like the world is turning against China because the Trump administration is going for all out saturation to drive this propaganda campaign.
There are plenty of Americans who see right through it, but anti-China bias is so normalised in the US (which isn’t at all a recent development before anyone blames that on Trump, he amplified it, but it was always there) that even coming out to say the truth can and will be seen as ‘evidence’ of being a sell out to the CCP. So they all stay silent, because they are not Chinese, and hope they don’t belong to the next group the mobs comes for.

Yup and here is an article that I posted earlier in the Covid-19 thread.
doubt it. remember about 10 years ago there was accusations of Chinese products being poisonous? even that could not reverse consumption of those products.

It also make sense the shut down only affect Wuhan and the surrounding area in Hubei But the rest of the country is not affected that much specially south of Yangzhe river the economic engine of the country

No. State immunity protects China from lawsuits filed against it in foreign courts, while sovereign immunity protects it from lawsuits filed against it in its own courts.
