Age of Covid-19: once again Missouri is an embarrassment on the world stage

Missouri is suing China over coronavirus impacts saying the country did 'little to stop the spread of the disease.'

Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt filed the civil lawsuit in federal court in the eastern district of Missouri. Guess who was mysteriously not named in a lawsuit? The Trump administration. It was Donald Trump himself who said he knew there was a pandemic before anybody else.

"This is a pandemic. I felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic. All you had to do was look at other countries." - March 2020 Trump said at a press conference with his coronavirus task force.

From January until March, he kept telling the people of Missouri and the rest of the world that the virus was under “control”. Therefore the cases were going “down, not up” and would even completely disappear with warm weather by April. He often contradictied his own health experts. When the World Health Organization said the virus outbreak was a pandemic. Trump administration assured all of us that COVID-19 was under “control” in America (I'm assuming that included Missouri) and suggested it would incur little economic damage, magically disappearing by April.

He felt it was a pandemic but he didn't tell but he didn't tell the good people of Missouri. In fact on CNBC Jan. 22 he was asked..if there were worries about a pandemic,  And Trump replied, "No. Not at all. And — we're — we have it totally under control. It's one person coming in from China, and we have it under control. It's going to be just fine."

When asked if he thinks China is covering up the coronavirus, Trump replied..

“No. China is working very hard….They’re working really hard, and I think they are doing a very professional job. They’re in touch with the World [Health] Organization. CDC also. We’re working together.”- Trump February 7th

Trump tweeted this early March

The Fake News Media and their partner, the Democrat Party, is doing everything within its semi-considerable power (it used to be greater!) to inflame the CoronaVirus situation, far beyond what the facts would warrant. Surgeon General, “The risk is low to the average American.”
-Mar 9, 2020 Trump tweet

Trump by his own admission in front of a nationwide audience at an official task force briefing  stated for the record,  he felt it was a pandemic before all the top scientists in the world. But from January to March he downplayed the seriousness of the pandemic. Even going so far as to call the criticisms and the concerns the "new hoax."  By Trump's own admission, in front of a live TV audience stated, as president of the United States he's never saw the memos  circulated through the White House by his top trade adviser beginning in January. The memo laid out an estimated death toll of up to half a million Americans. And the cost to the U.S. economy possibly soaring to nearly $6 trillion. So it seems to me that both China and the Trump administration did nothing to stop the spread of the novel virus. Looks like they (China and the Trump administration) are co-defendants to me.

So my ultimate question is.. why is the Trump administration not being also sued for what happened to Missouri's economy?
