It's still not clear to me what the WHO team hopes to "investigate." Are they going to seize lab notebooks, go into hospitals and examine patient records, recover deleted files from computers? Not happening. They also not going tocollect any samples or do any experiments. Are they going to simply try [and fail] to write a "better" version of PO1?It's no wonder the general public is confused, especially with politicians like Trump and reporting like The Mail. Another more mainstream example of reporting on the WHO team's Mission Impossible: https://www.theaustralian.com.au/world/the-times/coronavirus-scientists-cast-doubt-on-who[...]gin-in-wuhan/news-story/973a5f1a0b0c460535ea012a254740c2
