Somewhat off topic to thread but so important I'm inserting it here.
Who Team to China BBC article:

Portion of link below and please note the Bold italic Part
A World Health Organization (WHO) team has arrived in the Chinese city of Wuhan to start its investigation into the origins of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The long-awaited probe comes after months of negotiations between the WHO and Beijing.
A group of 10 scientists is set to interview people from research institutes, hospitals and the seafood market linked to the initial outbreak.Covid-19 was first detected in Wuhan in central China in late 2019.
The team's arrival on Thursday morning coincides with a resurgence of new coronavirus cases in the north of the country, while life in Wuhan is relatively back to normal.
They will undergo two weeks of quarantine before beginning their research,
which will rely upon samples and evidence provided by Chinese officials.
Team leader Peter Ben Embarek told AFP news agency just before the trip that it "could be a very long journey before we get a full understanding of what happened".

This is completely laughable. In no way will this be a scientific investigation and in no way will it be independent as it should be. Any scientific investigation into the origin of COVID should free to go down any path the scientific method would dictate, the WHO team should be able to collect and analyze their own samples and investigate and interview people and officials and Chinese scientists and have complete and free access to all documentation, papers, and sampling histories and all related COVID data, for just a few examples. To think that this will produce much useful information is gloriously silly. It is useful propaganda for the Chinese and nothing more.
And I just barely touched on how laughable all this is. All the details would be too long to elucidate.
