China has repeatedly dismissed theories that the virus leaked from one of its labs and has said no more visits are needed

The group, which includes scientists from the United States and China as well as 24 other nations, is to consider not only the big, unresolved question of the novel coronavirus virus — how did it first infect humans? — but also set up a framework for future outbreaks involving other pathogens so similar big questions aren’t left unresolved again.

“If you believe that SAGO will answer the question ‘what was the origins of SARS-CoV-2′, then you are sadly mistaken because there is there’s little to no chance of them gaining access to information or on the ground investigation as far as China is concerned,” said Lawrence Gostin, professor of global health law at the Georgetown University.

WHO officials are adamant that the SAGO will not function as a repeat of the discredited mission to Wuhan. “It’s an advisory group. We set up these advisory groups all the time,” Van Kerkhove said. “It is not about the next mission.” China has repeatedly dismissed theories that the virus leaked from one of its laboratories and has said no more visits are needed.

More than 700 experts in their field applied for a place on the SAGO team, WHO officials said, with the scientists chosen not only for their ability but also with a nod toward diversity in gender, ethnicity and place of residence. Member states were not asked to nominate names and their preferences were not considered in the selection process.

COVID-19 scientists faced death threats, threats of violence: surveyA new survey of 321 scientists who have spoken publicly about COVID-19 finds that 15 per cent received death threats and 22 per cent received threats of physical or sexual violence. Posts like this always present so many people that you can just block right away. No need to comment first to get a moronic reply. There is always a small minority group of ignorant fools who have nothing better to do with their lives then make threats. Those fools making those threats are the ones waiting for the psychiatrist to come and get them to analyze there brains.
