Thirty days left for US intelligence report on Covid

On May 26 President Joe Biden asked the US intelligence services to carry out a full review of everything known and unknown about the origins of Covid-19 and to produce a report within 90 days. There are just 30 days left. I seriously doubt that the CIA or any of the other 17 intelligence agencies will have found anything so glaringly new that it will make the whole world wake up and take notice and point the finger of blame at.... yes, China. The reason for this is that China is not cooperating and has become increasingly angry that everyone in the rest of the world thinks it all began in Wuhan and that China should make recompense, or even say sorry. The World Health Organisation has announced it wants to carry out a second investigation which should include examining all the records at the Wuhan Institute of Virology to make sure the virus did not emanate from its laboratories. Beijing has condemned the announcement and has made it clear it will never open the doors of the institute to WHO snoopers and certainly will never hand over documents related to the research work on coronavirus which we know has been and is being carried out there. So how on earth is the CIA going to be able to come up with anything new with China blocking all attempts to ask penetrative questions? The Biden request was silly and it will look even sillier if the intelligence report tells him nothing. He won't be able to blame China for letting loose the virus from the lab because there simply won't be the proof. So it's a farce. Unless Beijing opens the institute's doors and/or reveals everything it knows about the passing of the virus from bats in the food market to humans the world will stagger on suffering the pandemic without ever knowing how it all began. Unfortunately I fear Beijing will never cooperate. They would lose too much face to open anything to WHO.
