> They shared the genome quite quickly. Scientists got working on it ASAP, around the world. The lab that sequenced and shared the genome apparently did this without authorization from the central government. Shortly afterward, the entire lab was shut down for "rectification." The Chinese government also repeatedly refused requests to share a sample of the virus. It refused to allow any independent scientists to enter the country to investigate even up to today, and even the WHO commission that has finally been assembled can only contain members that are approved by the Chinese government.
