The team also visited several laboratories in Wuhan and considered the possibility that the virus entered the human population as a result of a laboratory incident.*However, I do not believe that this assessment was extensive enough.* Further data and studies will be needed toreach more robust conclusions. Although the team has concluded that a laboratory leak is the least likely hypothesis, this requires further investigation, potentially with additional missions involving specialist experts, which I am ready to deploy.We will keep you informed as plans progress, and as always, we very much welcome your input. Let me say clearly that as far as WHO is concerned all hypotheses remain on the table.

    Amy: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-00865-8"Plenty of animals were sold at the Huanan market. December 2019 records list poultry, badgers, rabbits, giant salamanders, two kinds of crocodiles and more. Chinese officials said that the market didn't sell live mammals or illegal wildlife, the report adds, but also references unverifiedmedia reports suggesting that it did, along with photos that Holmes published after a trip there in 2014, of animals such as live raccoon dogs."
