Joe Biden orders probe into the Wuhan lab leak and seeks report within 90 days

WASHINGTON: The United States President Joe Biden has ordered the US Intelligence Agencies to investigate whether the COVID-19 virus first emerged in China from an animal source or from a laboratory accident and to report him back in 90 days.

In a statement released by the White House, Joe Biden said, "Redouble their efforts to collect and analyze information that could bring us closer to a definite conclusion, and to report back to me in 90 days."

Biden also stated that the agencies are currently split over the two possible sources for the deadly virus.

China has been silent on investigating the matter as well as has not been cooperating to the worldwide pressure for an investigation either. It remains a mystery for more than a year now.

More than 3.4 million people succumbed to the China-originated virus so far across the globe.

White House coronavirus adviser Fauci said, “the most likely scenario is that this was a natural occurrence, but no one knows that 100% for sure.”

But Republicans on the other hand pushed forward a theory that the virus emerged from a laboratory accident not naturally through human contact with an infected animal in Wuhan.
