A W H O team probing the origins of the pandemic had requested raw patient data on 174 cases from the early face of the outbreak in the city of Wuhan in December 2000 and 19. But Dominic Dwyer and Australian infectious disease expert, who is a member off the team, said only summaries were provided. In the ideal world, you would go through a patient by patient by patient and that's what we call online. You see on that standard practice for an outbreak investigation in this situation that Chinese gave us the results. We would have liked our guest to have seen the raw data, but that could still come up. He said the data was especially important as only half of the cases had exposure to the yuan and seafood market where the virus was initially detected. The White House on Saturday said they have quote deep concerns about the W H O Covert 19 report from China. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan called on China to make available data from the earliest days of the outbreak. He said in a statement that it is imperative the report be independent and free from quote alteration by the Chinese government. However, another member of the W. H O mission zoologist Peter Dash described quote trust and openness with my China counterparts, adding that they did get access to critical data throughout the W. H O and the Chinese Foreign Ministry did not immediately reply to a request for comments. The covert 19 probe has been plagued by delay concerns over access and bickering between Beijing and Washington, which accused China of hiding the extent of the initial outbreak. Beijing has previously defended its transparency and its cooperation with the W H O missions.
