In light of the disruption COVID-19 has caused, it's necessary to understand how it got started. If we are going to keep our intellectual honesty, nothing should be dismissed from consideration, including the lab hypothesis. In the middle of all that, geopolitics is getting in the way, and rightly so. China increasingly considers itself a peer nation to USA - so an unfettered foreign-led investigation is unlikely.
I'm starting to say look at the silver lining and see how incredibly unprepared we are for a biological attack/pandemic that has a much higher kill rate. Maybe there can be some policy changes made now given the experience.
