AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) recently expressed support for a call by the White House urging China to release patient level data on the earliest cases of COVID-19 in Wuhan. The data is indispensable to understanding how the pandemic began, but the Chinese authorities have so far refused to provide it to the World Health Organization (WHO) investigators studying the origins of the outbreak.
The statement was issued Feb. 13 by the White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan, in which he referred to the recently concluded investigative trip to Wuhan by a WHO team, saying the Administration has deep concerns about how the early findings were communicated. “It is imperative that this report be independent, with expert findings free from intervention or alteration by the Chinese government,” Sullivan wrote.

(CNN) Reading Chinese state media coverage, you could be forgiven for thinking the World Health Organization s investigation into the origins of COVID-19 had ruled out Wuhan as the potential source of the pandemic.
Ahead of their four-week visit to the central Chinese city, which wrapped up this week, the WHO team had warned their research might not turn up anything particularly groundbreaking. They cited the length of time since infections first started spreading in Wuhan, and the degree to which the city has been disinfected and sterilized since, as residents endured a lengthy lockdown and subsequently returned to relative normality.
