@WHO

The @WHO presser in #Wuhan has started with the leader of the Chinese team Liang Wennian going through the kinda boring history of setting up the inquiry, terms of reference etc.

Seems to be already hinting that there will be another “stage” of this inquiry in another country / countries?

Sorry I miss typed earlier. Should read Liang Wannian.

@WHO

The @WHO #coronavirus investigation team will hold a press conference here in #Wuhan #China starting in around 7 hours time. We’ll be covering it on @BBCWorld TV, World Service Radio and BBC website.

@WHO

So that’s 16.00 #Wuhan time / 0900 #Geneva time for the @WHO #coronavirus investigation team press conference here in #Wuhan #China.

@WHO

What to expect from today’s @WHO press conference: not, here is where the #coronavirus came from. Instead I’d imagine it’ll be along the lines of... because we’ve now found out X,Y&Z from here on in we’ll be turning our attention to these areas to study the possible virus origins

Hey trolls and apologists how do you feel about #China’s government already blocking Clubhouse? How long did it last?

In all seriousness. It’s actually a real pity. This seemed like a good platform for interaction between people. Oh well.

I mean really let’s all stop and think what’s just happened: the Communist Party of #China has blocked #Clubhouse. Why? Because ultimately it doesn’t trust its own people to speak to others beyond its control.

@WHO

The @WHO investigation team is today visiting two centres for disease control in #Wuhan. They’re currently at the provincial level facility. The second is city level. Both places have labs in them for studying viruses etc but they’re not the top level (most dangerous). #China

@WHO

This is probably the most relevant place the @WHO team has visited so far. They can speak to serious people with actual data etc. They’ve been inside for over 3 and a half hours. #China #coronavirus

@WHO

@WHO team leaves. On the left hand side you’ll see some argy bargy with security as a cameraman tries to film comments from one of the scientists who had his window down. Apparently he said it was a good meeting. #China #coronavirus

@WHO #coronavirus investigation team is visiting a cold storage area of a very large wholesale-style market here in #Wuhan this morning. There has been speculation that the virus can travel on food surfaces. I guess that’s what they might be looking at? #China
