Chinese researchers might be collecting data, now that the initial chaos is Wuhan has been addressed. “Some of the reasons for the lack of autopsies and biopsies include the suddenness of the outbreak, the vast patient volume in hospitals, shortage of healthcare personnel, and the high rate of transmission, which makes invasive diagnostic procedures less of a clinical priority.” https://www.genengnews.com/news/coronavirus-early-pathology-...
