The team members were seen walking through sections of the Baishazhou market — one of the largest wet markets in Wuhan — surrounded by a large entourage of Chinese officials and representatives.

A plainclothes security person uses his umbrella to block journalists from filming after the World Health Organisation team arrive at the Baishazhou wholesale market on the third day of field visit in Wuhan in central China’s Hubei province on Sunday, January 31.

The Geneva-based WHO said on Twitter last Thursday that the team plans to visit hospitals and markets like the Huanan Seafood Market, which was linked to many of the first cases. They also listed the Wuhan Institute of Virology and laboratories at facilities including the Wuhan Centre for Disease Control.

A single visit by scientists is unlikely to confirm the virus’s origins. Pinning down an outbreak’s animal reservoir is typically an exhaustive endeavour that takes years of research including taking animal samples, genetic analysis and epidemiological studies.

One possibility is that a wildlife poacher might have passed the virus to traders who carried it to Wuhan. The Chinese government has promoted theories, with little evidence, that the outbreak might have started with imports of frozen seafood tainted with the virus, a notion roundly rejected by international scientists and agencies.

Useless WHO

China will hide everything

Imagine WHO report says to the world 'results inconclusive' CCP says to its people 'WHO cannot find evidence, meaning China is not the origin' Good show everyone.

Funny on how CCPVirus didn't want anyone in to come in for a year, rejected CDCemergency to assist with controlling this way at the start of the virus

On the case, but a year too late.

anyone read Chinese here

WHO go there for archeology after one year ..

after karaoke , WHO report is this

China would have destroyed all the evidence a long time ago.

NZ's Helen Clark who is heading the WHO investigating team is a Chinese stooge that will just rubber stamp anything the Chinese tell her to say

Head to the damn lab if u want answers!

Tell em to try the bat soup.

They’ll be shown a slab of rotting Australian beef and an empty Australian wine bottle with fake kangaroo paw-prints on it.

Lol

Let me guess.....they find nothing? Fools.

A tad late, perhaps?

Talk about a wild goose chase.

They find evidence in the market. This way China is free of any man manufactured virus in a lab. Its called a cover-up.

& a smashed pangolin? smh auspol COVID19

Biggest waste of time. 12 months too late.

I’m sure no evidence has been removed by now🙄

WHO should visit the Wuhan Bioweapons Research Facility if it wants to find the source.

Hmmm evidence sanitised long before now - China knows that

just go to the lab were china made it and get the vaccine they made for them self's
