Since the outbreak of novel coronavirus in China, there have been various rumours on the Internet about the source of novel coronavirus. Some experts and scholars in China believe that the source of the virus is bats, and some people say that pangolins are potential intermediate hosts that cause novel coronavirus pneumonia. However, these Chinese experts did not provide any animal experimental samples to support these theories. At the same time, the Chinese authorities are reluctant to allow American experts to investigate. In response, the White House has requested top American medical experts to investigate the source of Wuhan's "novel coronavirus".
The source of novel coronavirus is widely divergent. On 6 February 2020, the director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) sent a letter to the National Academy of Science, Engineering, and Medicine, asking top medical experts in the United States to investigate the source of "new coronavirus" in Wuhan.
The White House also asked scientific experts to investigate the origin of the virus as soon as possible to clarify the current transmission path and to be "prepared for future outbreaks and better understand all aspects of coronavirus transmission in animals or humans and the environment."
Zhu Wei, Medical Director of a US pharmaceutical company: "I also saw Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Infectious Diseases, and he seemed to have expressed concerns about whether this new coronavirus was artificially synthesized or intentionally leaked. According to my limited medical research career in the United States for more than 20 years, it seems that this is the first time that I have seen a formal publication from the White House in the United States, asking for a rapid study of this specific disease. So I feel that the U.S. government has highly valued the research studies on the origin of novel coronavirus this time. "
Earlier, several US lawmakers questioned that the China Communist Party (CCP) concealed the source of the virus and expressed concern that the virus might come from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
Xiao En, a former virology researcher at the US Army Research Institute, said, "These experiments themselves may also be done from such a basis to develop better vaccines. But this itself is also very risky, so in fact, these experiments are performed on animals. Even if it is performed on the human body, in fact, the entire review must be very strict. I don’t know how China ’s gatekeepers are doing this. Of course, another argument is that the Wuhan Virus Institute may cooperate with the military. It's another matter. "
Novel coronavirus deaths in China continue to rise. During this sensitive period, the Chinese authorities sent Chen Wei, China's chief biochemical weapon defense expert, to take over the Wuhan P4 virus laboratory at the Institute. It is believed that this laboratory may be related to the Chinese military.
American doctor of microbiology and former US Army Institute of Virology researcher Xiao En said that normal research institutes cooperate with the military and do not necessarily need to be taken over by the military. If it is taken over by the military, it may indicate that there is something in the laboratory that needs to be blocked.
Xiao En: "On the other hand, it also reflects that things may be worse than expected, So Chen Wei, a Chinese military biochemical expert, will say that she will make the worst plan, and they must have some internal conditions that have not been said such as the infectivity of the virus or what processing it has and what additional functions it has. If such an experiment is unfortunately leaked, it is of course a major accident. Of course, we can only guess from the outside now. In general It is definitely not good news to say that such a laboratory has been taken over by the military. "
On 4 February 2020, Dr. Frank Plummer, a former director of the Canadian P4 Virus Laboratory and well-known Canadian biologist, died in Africa. It is believed that his death may be related to the outbreak. Qiu Xiangguo, a Chinese virologist who worked with him before, has visited China five times to help the P4 laboratory of Wuhan Institute of Virology train scientists and technicians, and allegedly stole atypical pneumonia coronavirus from here to the virus research institute of Wuhan.
The continued deterioration of China's novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic has caused global concerns. On 8 February 2020, the CCP finally agreed to allow a WHO expert panel it reviewed and approved to go to China to assist the fight against the epidemic.
Xiao En: "In general, the Chinese Communist Party treats the epidemic as a state secret. It belongs to state secrets, so basically all information is expected to be held within them. Therefore, if foreign scientists go in, of course, they will certainly understand more about the entire epidemic actual situation. If the source of the virus is concealed, of course, it will be more difficult to avoid the eyes of foreign experts. Therefore, China is unwilling to do so. "
As of the press deadline, the Chinese authorities still refused to allow a team of experts from the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention to visit China to observe novel coronavirus epidemic and provide assistance.
