A global team of researchers has arrived in the Chinese city where the coronavirus was first detected to investigate the origins of the pandemic. There's uncertainly about whether Beijing might try to prevent embarrassing discoveries.

Passengers wearing face masks to protect against the spread of the coronavirus line up at a boarding gate at Wuhan Tianhe International Airport in Wuhan in central China's Hubei Province, Thursday, Jan. 14, 2021. China is seeing a new surge in coronavirus cases in its frozen northeast as a World Health Organization team was due to arrive to probe the origins of the pandemic.

Scientists suspect the virus that has killed 1.9 million people since late 2019 jumped to humans from bats or other animals, most likely in China’s southwest. The ruling Communist Party, stung by complaints it allowed the disease to spread, says the virus came from abroad, possibly on imported seafood, but scientists reject that.The WHO team includes virus and other experts from the United States, Australia, Germany, Japan, Britain, Russia, the Netherlands, Qatar and Vietnam.

China rejected demands for an international investigation after the Trump administration blamed Beijing for the virus’s spread, which plunged the global economy into its deepest slump since the 1930s. A single visit by scientists is unlikely to confirm the virus’s origins; pinning down an outbreak’s animal reservoir is typically an exhaustive endeavor that takes years of research including taking animal samples, genetic analysis and epidemiological studies.

Some of the WHO team were en route to China a week ago but had to turn back after Beijing announced they hadn’t received valid visas.

Why even try !!

What 'embarrassing discoveries' after 13 months... hillarious. 13 scientists on a holiday to China more like.

One week later: WHO TEAM MISSING IN CHINA

Can we say, “Exercise in hypocrisy”?

The enablers meet with the perpetrators 👏🏼

What’s the point they will find fúck all evidence of it

Like the WHO are going to find any wrong doing, they are heavily funded by China 🇨🇳 🙄. Will be a cover up money talks

In reality it’s a waste of time. They not the brightest people. Clearly. China would have destroyed all evidence & personnel responsible.

China can’t be trusted!!

WHO are literally china’s puppets, so is it a surprise it’s taken a year 🤦🏻‍♂️

Oh wow, they've arrived! They have to spend two weeks in quarantine and have only two weeks to visit a boarded up fresh meat market and what else? They won't be allowed to visit the infamous lab so what's the point of this costly useless trip?

World Health Team arrives in China as Boris Johnson to be investigated for human rights crimes over coronavirus lockdown Covid19 Coronavirus

Covid 19 was found in sewerage in Barcelona March 2019 just because China raised the alarm does not mean its from China!the rest of the world were treating it as a ‘mystery flu ‘ virus for months and months before China raised the alarm!

Lol as if the traces of the Virus are still gonna be there waiting for these experts to uncover. What a joke man. Its more than a year now and the place they are going to is already free of the Virus. What mysteries are they gonna unearth.

Get nothing!

Will they be visiting the 'Bat Market' where it spread from? China looks civilized from the outside, this wouldn't have happened if they weren't savagely eating bats, snakes and other reptiles. Bats mostly!! No wonder diseases are spreading from China. Stop the wet markets.

In the WHO we trust!!! Surely they are going to be unbiased and give honest, objective report. Why wouldn’t they

They aren't allowed in the lab in Wuhan to investigate. I wonder why

It’s more then a year later. And your looking for something microscopic. Or word of mouth. Yeh ok. who is just fake.

Those Muppets are still in denial a year on.

Uncertainty? Lol. I guarantee whomever was involved is dead or in jail. All evidence would have been destroyed last year.

Rossana38510044 A conflict of interest: How can Peter Daszak, a British scientist who helped fund controversial experiments on coronaviruses by China's Batwoman, be part of WHO's team investigating the original source of the outbreak?

Be safe peeps never know what will happen to you they are Chinese they can do anything

Finally... Time for Chinese Gov to realize why it is called WuhanCoronavirus = Covid19 they reported late a dirge works is very sick. Wuhan WHO CDC Covid

Uncertainty

China should pay for this.... Enough is enough with all these viruses coming out of China and how they try and cover it up. Gross, now the entire world is suffering.

Lol

WHO is going to investigate? Who investigates the WHO?

It’s ridiculous that the United States withdrew from the WHO for fear of being investigated.😁

The wont find anything, CCP already destroyed all evidence and jailed or killed anyone connected

NYCNavid AP Headline next week: 'Global team of researchers sent to China to investigate the origins of the pandemic mysteriously 'disappear''

Year too late!

Just in time!

Same energy as “we investigated ourselves and found no evidence of wrongdoing.”

Are they sending archaeologists or virologists ?

Narrator: There's no uncertainty.

A little late but when you leave the WHO you throw away your influence. Just a reality of this administration's failed policies.

But....but it’s not from there!

The Chinese will call for the WHO to be defunded, we have seen first hand what happens if you go sniffing.

Wow only one year fucking later.

So timely!

Is China funding the investigation and choosing who can lead it?

China basically paid these people to conduct a farce and give china a certificate that they weren't responsible for the outbreak at all. While we all know what the truth is..

Meanwhile, the cops are just pulling up to investigate the death of princess Diana.

LOL the America media loves those Chinese Communists so they'll just cover up the fact that Covid was designed in a lab in Wuhan like we already know...

I’m glad to see so many “experts” weighing in on this in the comments. Let’s at least let them try to get some evidence, before we pee all over the proceedings.

Anxiously waiting for official cover-up story of the millennium. Probable outcome would be: 1. coronavirus originated in US and not China - 2. COVID19 originated in wet-market BUT NOT wuhan lab, it's not a bio-agent

A year later

We know how it started. SouthPark

Nothing they find here will be the truth. China has destroyed any evidence that can point to them as well as silenced/gotten rid of anyone who would dare speak against them.vthis is a waste of time at this point

Uhm they are gonna find nothing cause that’s what happens over there

EmmeIineRussell a year later?!

The Chinese probably destroyed the evidence so you won't find nothing. They want you to be sick. They're heartless.

Not sure there's much uncertainty there

A day late and lives short!

A year later... LOL

oh my! why so soon WHO you could have gone some 25 years later rite?

Its too early ! Come next year

Wow ... investigator.... 1 year later on crime scene!!! Wow! Ap please shut the ...

Taxi for the laboratory!

Pretty sure any trace of its origin is FUCKING GONE AFTER A YEAR. why. seriously. why. this is nothing but a waste of money that will help literally nobody. WHY.

That's great, wish they would have gone there 12 months ago. I'm sure it wont take long for China to expel them once they start digging around

Took this emasculated woke WHO 1 year, 1 mnth to put some courage together! Slow clap!

Gee 🤔 Whats the Hurry... 🤷

Another investigation of nothingness. Why bother when the evidence and research documents have since been purged?

Ja ya que borraron todas las pruebas VayaTeatro

A global team of researchers has disappeared in the Chinese city where the coronavirus was first detected while trying to investigate the origins of the pandemic.

But pretty good evidence that incredibly sexy CCP paid rent boys and girls will be plying their trade in the bars along with the CCP filming teams behind one way mirrors employing liberal use of hypnotics and soporifics like ketamine.

Thank u Dr Li Wenliang 'A man's ethical behaviour shd be based effectually on sympathy, education, &social ties&needs; no religious basis is necessary. Man wd indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment&hope of reward after death' Albert Einstein

A bit late now the had plenty of time to cover up

Wow. Over a year for the CCP to scrub and sanitize the place. What on earth do they think they are going to find?

The WHO to ivestigate the origins of the pandemic? haha Hilarious! You are better off sending in the team of Columbo, Hawaii Five O, Kojak, Starsky and Hutch, Mrs. Fletcher, police woman's S. Anderson, the entire team of 53rd precinct in car 54, Adam 12, Ironside, Cagney & Lacey!

China could have built a brand new a Wuhan city by now! What cover-up?!

I hope they brought their swimming trunks!

This is laughable

One year later...pretty fuckin cool...no wonder Trump defunded these idiots.

Isn't this shit they should have done a year or 2 ago?

I think you meant to say that there is CERTAINTY that Beijing will try to prevent embarrassing discoveries

Did they walk there ?

Take your time gents...

1 test later, of course Chinese gov. Save the evidence for you , very carefully, :)

This is rather incredible

Shame on China that it’s taken so long to get them there. Hope they are at least fully cooperative now.

This is laughable, somebody thinks China will be honest about something. What a waste of time and money

Lil too late

🎥 🎬

It's about time, let's hope the Chinese government don't move to block any investigation

🤡🤡🤡

Looks like China can get away w/anything. The trail is ice cold now. How can they be an equal part of the global economy when they won't to work w/the same rules as the rest of us? Remember, Covid-19 is SARS 2.0. Both came from China. We'll be going thru all this shit AGAIN.

Is the team going to endorse whatever China claims from now on? Because even they can’t get any info or evidence for what happened 1yr ago, they are present on site when there’s another breakout going on now.

Give you a clue it's not the fish market. wuhaninstituteofvirology

Oh please, what are they going to find now? 🙄

Thank u Dr Li Wenliang 'A man's ethical behaviour shd be based effectually on sympathy, education, &social ties&needs; no religious basis is necessary. Man wd indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment&hope of reward after death' Einstein

Blame China and I do

Wow bit late

A little late, OMG 😆

Magically gone now won’t find nothing cover up 👀

Inobjective reporting, a tendency to engage in ideological opposition, and distorted statements. Is this the freedom of speech and press in the western media? It's just disgusting political play. Only a fool would take it seriously.

Total hogwash! First they undermined the seriousness of Covid for reasons best known to them and after a year they go to investigate the origins!!

Don't worry, any potentially 'embarrassing discoveries' will have already been covered up... ChinaLiedPeopleDied

What virus can we make to depopulate the world quicker 🤔

Just now? A year later? What a joke of an organization they needed to have done this the day of and should’ve already have had known the origins of it being idk a SERIOUS VIRUS, but what do I know huh?

Maybe don’t dip bats in soya sauce?

You're joking right It's a clubhouse now.

They say in investigations 48 hours can make the difference between solving a case and letting it go cold...they waited 10 months.

Like when you get into a car accident and the investigators go to the scene 1 year later to investigate? Yeah, ok. You'd think they would have been there from the start to collect as much data/evidence as possible, but I guess that would make too much sense.

Yeah brilliant, let’s just give it a year to let the dust settle... 12+ months for them to cover all bases. What a farce.

only about oh I don't know, a YEAR late

China would have done whatever it takes to cover it up, we all know it didn't come from a bat, as people have been eating stuff like that for years over there. Why else would they jail the person that first reported it, it most likely came from a lab.

🤔I feel like this tweet should be from Jan 2020. If only the US had a leader that kept epidemiology crew in China vs end the program. If only we had a President that didn’t accept Chinas word & sent American team there vs praising them for months. 400K dead Americans

Wuh done it?

Um maybe try the sewer system of Italy and Spain as there's evidence it was there long before the pcr scandal started. Wouldn't trust anything the WHO or WEF put out. Bunch of criminals to say the least

To speed things up it wasn't from bats

Well, WHO ain't gonna find nothing. We, all know they're already in the CCP pockets.

Whole research team about to disappear

LOL - you are all tools

Had a year to hide the evidence

Try and stop all the wet markets while they’re there.

Imagine trying to investigate a crime scene a year later after the suspects, along with their own team of experts have had a year to do whatever they want with the evidence. It's going to be difficult to uncover anything that China doesn't want the investigators to uncover.

Did they major in underwater basket weaving?

There is no uncertainty about whether China will try to prevent embarrassing discoveries.

1 year too late to be of much importance

Toyota had a floor mat issue, and financial liabilities - whether COVID-19 was incidentally spread, intentional or accidental, the Wuhan area is an historical source of global disruptions that scientists have to understand to secure future risks from spreading. Accountability

They are just there to collect their finally paycheck

There's no uncertainty.....they will prevent them FFS Why is everyone pussy footing around when it comes to China It came from the WuhanLab ...the question is was it deliberate or a mistake ChinaVirus Wuhan WorldHealthOrganisation motivation

The virus is in the United States, but they go to Chinese to check, it is really stupid. They should check out how the US electronic cigarette lung disease and the more than 60,000 flus in 2019 are going.

They should check out that level 4 lab in Wuhan. It came from there

They are in the wrong country!

ap low Attach 'The United States has withdrawn from WHO'

I hear that they clean the whole market with bleach...

There’s uncertainty *how Beijing might try to...

I hope they find something of relevance that wasn't already burned in an accidental fire, but i doubt it. too little too late.

I just want to laugh, the western media so obsessed with China.bashing China doesn't solve your own problems,but only unite the Chinese. You just still can't figure it out after last year's experience. too dumb.

Before the team arrived in China where already fired out over original profile and all data from the virus research institute of 4 that too late!

Chinese CCP has already 🍷 and 🍱 WHO they will hide everything

They should look for information purging signs

Australian prime minister called for this month's ago and looked what happened

They can't undo it the world is suffering

“Uncertainities” lol

Oh, there’s no uncertainty about it. NothingToSeeHere

Uncertain? Really?

It’ll be Champagne all round then

This is communist propaganda.

Cage free

Why not try honesty?! We need to live in a world where truth exists. Own your shit.

Thelmavrh Oh? Quite interesting. So NOW it’s okay to retweet AP ( part of “MSM”) when facts fit into your paradigm. I shall keep this in mind.

really? uncertainty? really?

“Uncertainly” says the Chinese sympathizer.

more like yea they will.

When will the United States be investigated for the source of the virus? After all, you have the most confirmed cases, with more than 390000 deaths! COVID19

Over a year later. I’m sure there is evidence all over the place and nothing got sterilized or destroyed...

Spoiler: they will lie and cover-up.

LMAO there’s uncertainty? Um no, it’s certain that Beijing will try to cover up as much as possible. That’s the CCP way.

ya think?

well are we still pretending it start there or nah?

Embarrassing discoveries? P. T. Barnum POTUS has already told us all we need to know about this subject, what more is there to discovery? 🤔

I assume investigations will go as deep as the Chinese government allows them to see, ask or touch

Nah bro, there's no uncertainty: CCP is gonna lie their fat asses off.

As if they left any there to be discovered.

🤦does it even matter now?

Check out the Bats at those Markets. See if Covid 19 started out as a sexual transmitted disease.

The eventual 'sudden disappearance' of the investigators headline will be quickly hidden in the mass of lies being spewed, all in an attempt to kowtow to the CCP. Everyone knows where this came from. Just like everyone knows who the real rioters in the US are.

What embarassing discoveries? Is'nt the situation in US and the western world embarassing enough?🙄

No rush

The coronavirus was made by the man. I believe China is behind why they put jail the lady who tell the world about the virus...

AP像只苍蝇

Just in time to celebrate the 1 year anniversary.

What uncertainty? It IS a certainty that they will do whatever is necessary to make themselves appear blameless.

Why don't you start with the infectious disease laboratories in Wuhan. This doesn't need to be a long investigation.

Tantamount to knowing someone is guilty of murder but saying 'we will wait till your ready to come into the station' then giving the killer months to clean up and pretending you can investigate afterwards. It's a joke.

Don't forget to investigate the Russian building fire in September 2019 that contained known Small pox viruses. Those responders were in Wuhan a few weeks later. Nobody ever talks about this.

they can find anything? a year has passed since all stared

They are a year late. Anyone involved in the outbreak surely has died a convenient death. Nearly a formality to polish the history pages clean. newspeak

You may be the only entity uncertain

After 1year? u'll find a clue?, that too in China? Good Luck with that idiots. What is the WHO team smoking?
