Driving the news: The Chinese government rejected the WHO's follow-up investigation as recently as July and has impeded the investigation, according to the report.
China's government "was and is still reluctant to share raw data" with the investigative team, the report in Nature states.
Details: "[The] window is rapidly closing on the biological feasibility of conducting the critical trace-back of people and animals inside and outside China. SARS-CoV-2 antibodies wane, so collecting further samples and testing people who might have been exposed before December 2019 will yield diminishing returns," per the scientists' report.

Would there be sanctions? War? China is a country that you do not want to fuck with. Any war against them is a war we would not win, and any sanctions against them would cause them to retaliate in horrendous ways. It's a very scary scenario and we must tread carefully. 
China is blocking the investigation into the origin of a virus that has killed millions and reduced the quality of life for billions. Fine. Guilty as charged. Now what are we going to do about it? How do we prevent this from happening again, assuming we even make it through this?
