W.H.O. team arrives in Wuhan
More than a year after a new coronavirus first emerged in China, a team of experts from the World Health Organization arrived in Wuhan on Thursday to begin hunting for its source.
But China is making the process harder. Two experts from the 15-member team were barred from entry at the last minute, and it’s unclear how much access they will get for the painstaking process of tracing the source of the virus.
Critics say Beijing’s desire for control means the inquiry will probably be more political than scientific. The pandemic hurt China’s reputation, with many foreign governments still angry that Beijing did not do more to contain the crisis in its earliest stages. Propagandists will most likely try to use the W.H.O. inquiry to help shore up China’s image.

■ Deaths from the coronavirus are skyrocketing in the U.S., reaching levels never before seen, largely fueled by relentless surges in California and Arizona.
