WHO in Wuhan: Tracking down a virus

After weeks of delay, and more than a year after the first COVID-19 case was reported, the World Health Organisation’s team of experts are in Wuhan to investigate the origins of the pandemic. <br /><br />Misinformation, conspiracies and conflicting theories are rife, and the conclusions of this report and future research could have major repercussions for China. <br /><br />But why has this research venture been so heavily politicised, and what can we expect from their findings? <br /><br />On this edition of the Sky News Daily podcast, host Jayne Secker speaks to Tom Cheshire, Sky’s Asia correspondent, to discuss his own attempt to find answers in China; Dr Julian Tang, a consultant virologist at the University of Leicester, to discuss the science behind tracking down a virus; and we hear from WHO team member Dr Peter Daszak about their findings so far.
