‘Purposeful’ exposure to coronavirus could trigger terror charges

A memo, from Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen, went to DOJ leaders, prosecutors and others, and said that investigators could consider that “purposeful exposure and infection of others with COVID-19” is banned by criminal statutes.

“Because coronavirus appears to meet the statutory definition of a ‘biological agent’ … such acts potentially could implicate the nation’s terrorism-related statutes,” Rosen explained. “Threats or attempts to use COVID-19 as a weapon against Americans will not be tolerated.”

If it’s a bio-agent & warrants a terrorism charge if someone infected with it deliberately spreads it, what is the case when a nation lets it out and clams up about it ?
