"Honest I have little interest in partisan politics."
Hmmm.
Aren't you the one who introduced partisan politics into the discussion with your statement "Strangely why someone would want to cover up the source of the virus or the Russians meddling in American elections is what's most interesting." ?
"The search for truth being labelled as a conspiracy theory by those conspiring to cover it up."
Apparently, by your logic, the following are conspiring to cover up the search for truth by labeling it as a conspiracy theory:
From https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Military_World_Games - "After the 2019-20 coronavirus pandemic, conspiracy theories about COVID-19 attributing the virus' creation to the CIA emerged[27]. Some articles on popular sites in Chinese have accused American athletes participating in the Wuhan Military World Games to have deployed the virus."
From https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/04/04/china-fake-news-coronavirus-164652 - "On March 4, the People's Daily reprint of this article was used as the basis for a piece published on conspiracy website GlobalResearch.ca, titled "China's Coronavirus: A Shocking Update. Did The Virus Originate in the US?" It was the first of two articles on the website that would lead to Zhao's tweet nine days later suggesting the U.S. Army had brought the virus to Wuhan."
BTW per Wikipedia: "The People's Daily is the largest newspaper group in China. The paper is an official newspaper of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, ..."
I could go on and on with references to this being labeled a conspiracy theory by many sources (with sources being of differing political affiliation), just Google "conspiracy theory suggests that US athletes participating in the 7th Military World Games that were held in Wuhan in October 2019 brought the covid-19 coronavirus" for more.
The same Google search will easily yield results which counter your statement that "For whatever it's worth and for clarity I don't think anyone is attempting to cover up the source of the virus."
