Mississippi plans to sue Chinese government over coronavirus, attorney general says

[TexasTowelie]

Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch intends to sue the Chinese government over the coronavirus pandemic, she announced Wednesday.

The lawsuit intends to hold China "accountable for the malicious and dangerous acts that caused death, health injuries, and serious economic loss from the COVID-19 crisis," according to a news release from Fitch's office.

In Mississippi, the coronavirus has sickened more than 4,700 people and killed more than 180. The state has been under a stay-at-home order since April 3, which has shut down large portions of the economy.

"Too many Mississippians have suffered as a result of China’s cover-up," Fitch said in a statement. "They must not be allowed to act with impunity. Mississippians deserve justice and I will seek that in court."
