“Have there been any accidental releases from labs in the past?”
“Some experts cite the unexpected emergence of a new H1N1 strain of flu in 1977, which spread globally over three decades, as an early example of a flu virus being accidentally released from a lab. Genetic evidence points to it having escaped from a lab in China or the Soviet Union.”
“There are many examples of other infectious agents escaping from labs. Smallpox virus escaped from Birmingham Medical School in 1978 and killed a medical photographer, Janet Parker, the last person to die of smallpox. Foot and mouth virus escaped in 2007 from a veterinary lab in Surrey and in 2004 the SARS virus escaped from a high-containment lab in Beijing, infecting nine people before it was stopped.”

Why indeed.
Tom Clancy discussed such a scenario in “Rainbox Six”. No doubt there are some extreme Greenies who daydream about making mankind extinct to restore the natural balance (in their eyes).

If it has been created, it WILL be released into the wild eventually.

Mary Shelley pondered the same question in “Frankenstein.”

Well not all of humanity because eventually there won’t be enough people having contact with each other for it to transmit. Which is the reason why viruses tend not to be extremely fatal to their normal host (all bets are off on species jumpers), killing off the host too quickly is bad for the long term survival of the virus.
