The emerging coronavirus pandemic has spurred a lawsuit by a Las Vegas attorney with a background in big cases, who is seeking compensation from the Chinese government for more than 32 million small U.S. businesses that have lost income and profits as a result of the outbreak. Eglet seeks class-action status and said Tuesday, March 24, 2020 he believes damages for Chinese "reckless" and "negligent" conduct could be in the trillions of dollars.
