WHO Covid study team makes first site visit to Wuhan hospital | |||||

They are also expected to visit a food market linked to one of the first cluster of cases, the Wuhan Institute of Virology, a research facility with a large archive of bat coronaviruses, and the Wuhan Centre for Disease Control.
Maybe St. Fauci could lead them on a guided tour. He seems to have a more than passing familiarity with the lab China has strongly opposed an independent investigation it could not fully control, and on Friday the foreign ministry spokesman, Zhao Lijian, insisted that the delegation was not a probe. “It is part of global research, not an investigation,” he said in Beijing. The WHO wrote on Twitter that the team had already requested “detailed underlying data” during online meetings held during a 14-day quarantine, and in their site visits expected to interview “early responders and some of the first Covid-19 patients”. One member of the investigating team, Peter Daszak, said those meetings had begun at the hospital on Friday. Zhang Jixian, the director of its department of respiratory and critical care, has been cited by Chinese state media as the first to report the novel coronavirus, after treating an elderly couple whose CT scans showed differences from typical pneumonia. “Extremely important first site visit,” Daszak wrote on Twitter. “We are in the hospital that treated some of the first known cases of Covid-19, meeting with the actual clinicians and staff who did this work, having open discussion about the details of their work.” The group are not able to go out freely in Wuhan, and will only be able to meet people on an itinerary set by their hosts.

#3 USofficials in the Trump administration had suggested, without offering evidence, that the virus could have escaped from the institute. Something Dems and the Media (BIRM) do on a daily basis |

#2 Showing up after a crime scene clean up and expecting to find something. Is like expecting the DOJ to actually investigate Atlanta, PA, AZ, etc... Voter Fraud 4 months later with any serious legal intent. I feel, at this point the W.H.O. is only doing a Political CYA report for future funding ($$$). Btw: I wonder if the next WHO head honcho is going to be our very own Dr. F. nominated using a little of with Mr. Joe's Taxpayer $$$$ and Mr. Bill's pocket change $$$$? |

#1 "Nothing to see here." So...how did that gain of function experiment that we funded you work out? Dr. Wen Liang has been scrubbed from history. Funny that Guardian says "without evidence". Recall that a WHO team was denied entry in Feb 2020. |
