Bail out workers and make China pay for it

The Chinese government is more responsible for the deaths and economic struggles caused by COVID-19 than the virus itself. As such, the United States should bail out American workers, as President Trump has promised, and deduct the cost of the bailout from our debt owed to China.

Research released by the University of Southampton by Dr. Shengjie Lai found that if China had acted on Dec. 30 (when Ai Fen, a top director at Wuhan Central Hospital, and Wuhan Dr. Li Wenliang posted information about a SARS-like virus on platforms such as WeChat), the cases of the coronavirus could have been reduced by 95%. Instead, the Chinese government reprimanded the two doctors for spreading information about what turned out to be the novel coronavirus.
