Biden administration officials are cautioning that a 90-day review into the origins of the Covid-19 virus may not produce a conclusive explanation as intelligence agencies take on the challenge of untangling the global pandemic.Spy agencies conducting the review have yet to find definitive evidence that would settle the debate over whether the virus came from human contact with an infected animal or was leaked from a Chinese government virology lab, a person familiar with the efforts stated.President Biden is due to receive a 45-day update in mid-July, and administration officials stated that even partial progress may restrict differences among scientists, politicians, and intelligence experts and turn up clues for further investigation.Mr. Biden “is mindful of the fact that after 90 days we may not have a completely conclusive answer, but he wanted a focused, intense, time-bound effort,” stated a senior administration official.
