18 agencies, Office of the Director of National Intelligence
Time is running out to gather evidence
WHO panel
Soon, biologically impossible
The window of opportunity for conducting this crucial inquiry is closing fast
All agencies assess that two hypotheses are plausible: natural exposure to an infected animal and a laboratory-associated incident
Several agencies
natural exposure to an animal infected with it or a close progenitor virus, low confidence
One intelligence agency
moderate confidence, that the first human infection was likely due a “laboratory-associated incident” at the Wuhan Institute of Virology,
which has studied coronaviruses in bats for more than a decade.
President Biden
Critical information about the origins of this pandemic exists in the People’s Republic of China,
yet from the beginning, government officials in China have worked to prevent international investigators and members of the global public health community from accessing it
The world deserves answers, and I will not rest until we get them

Professor Monica Gandhi, University of California
I truly, truly think we are in the endgame
The cases will start plummeting in mid- to late September
they mutate quickly, at a cost to themselves
we’re sort of at the peak of the pandemic because the delta variant is causing immunity like crazy
Delta comes in like a hurricane, but it leaves a lot of immunity in its wake
we’re going to get it
Unless you just sit in your room, you’re going to get it in your nose
but at least in this country, it will be manageable
Gandhi (Feb, 2020)
United States would not tolerate a disease that killed 100 Americans a day; people would come together to do whatever it took to stop that
Professor Ezekiel Emanuel, University of Pennsylvania
In March 2020, the country back to normal around November 2021
Now, It’s going to be at least spring 2022 and possibly much longer before most people are ready to resume normal activities
Professor Jay Bhattacharya, Stanford University
The emergency phase of the disease is over
Now, we need to work very hard to undo the sense of emergency.
We should be treating covid as one of 200 diseases that affect people
