One of the problem is naming. What is the difference of all these names? The L and the S type are they the one found in patient. Why stress non-recomb... And all those mainland chinese academics ... sorry but CSB we trust them.

Ah, those untrustworthy Chinese academics who are calling for the controversial action of... more comprehensive followup studies.

  That is controversial in some circles: "Academic journal editors were banning unqualified FRIN statements as early as 1990" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Further_research_is_needed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Further_research_is_needed

There is a strong need for further immediate, comprehensive studies that combine genomic data, epidemiological data, and chart records of the clinical symptoms of patients with SARS-CoV-2. I'm not sure if I would call those unqualified statements. Some are a bit vague, but they do identify questions that should be addressed and that a larger dataset is required.
