Biden Tasks Investigators To Find Out The Origins Of Covid-19 WithIn 90 Days

President Joe Biden has announced he has tasked US investigators to find out the origins of the deadly coronavirus and report back to him in 90 days.

The announcement comes after a US intelligence report found several researchers at China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology fell ill in November 2019 and had to be hospitalized.

“As part of that report, I have asked for areas of further inquiry that may be required, including specific questions for China. I have also asked that this effort include work by our National Labs and other agencies of our government to augment the Intelligence Community’s efforts. And I have asked the Intelligence Community to keep Congress fully apprised of its work,” Biden said in a statement.

The President said: “The failure to get our inspectors on the ground in those early months will always hamper any investigation into the origin of Covid-19.”

The World Health Organization investigated the origins of the pandemic and concluded in a report that the risk of an accidental leak from the Wuhan Institute, where coronavirus research was being conducted on bats, was “extremely low.”

 The report said there was “no reporting of Covid-19 compatible respiratory illness during the weeks/months prior to December 2019, and no serological evidence of infection in workers through SARS-CoV-2-specific serology screening.

“But the WHO probe was criticized by the US, United Kingdom and other governments over its limited access to “complete, original data and samples.” The organization was also accused of being overly deferential to China throughout the study. 

And the study was co-authored by 17 Chinese scientists, several of them from state-run institutions.

Former US President, Donald Trump had directly accused China of being the source of the deadly virus on several occasions while he was in office.

Mr. Trump had even advocated making China pay compensation to the world for the alleged leakage accident that has thus far afflicted the world with death suffering.

But China has always hit back saying the allegations are outrageous.

At point the Chinese government had even accused the US of being the source of the virus, naming a supposed original patient as a US woman.
