So do you think it was just scrubbed really well before scientists from other countries were allowed to investigate? I know they didn't cooperate with WHO in the beginning

They were certainly very obstructive in the beginning. They did belatedly allow the WHO to investigate but they primarily looked at the market. I am not sure to what extent they were able to look at the virus facility but I do have some experience of working in media in China and every official visit to anywhere is stage managed to the point of plainclothes police tailing journalists and forcibly preventing them from viewing anything not on the schedule. 

So it's inconceivable that any visit to the facility was not highly stage managed. Potemkin Tours is the term for it. 

And how would investigators ever really be able to confirm whether it did or didn't start at the wet market? They would need confirmed cases preceding that and what testing would have been happening *before* the main pandemic?

Not to mention the possibility of corruption - I wouldn't put it past someone to have turned a few bucks selling animal carcasses to a wet market that should not have been sold. In which case it would look essentially like the official story. 

Besides, I wouldn't be surprised if UN investigators were so jaded by the crazy conspiracy bullshit that was even being parrotted by right wing nuts in the US government, that their instinct was to dismiss anything even remotely suspicious - public communications around covid was already a shit show with your anti maskers and anti vaxxers foaming at the mouth for any conspiracy to peddle.
