Original Note:
Ebolavirus is present already in the wild. The Wuhan Institute of Virology was already permitted to study Ebola since they're a BSL-4 lab. Ebola does not cause people to "spout blood from every orifice" "The WIV’s lab was designed to safely research Ebola" per the article https://www.nature.com/articles/nature.2017.21487 https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/ebola-virus-disease
