[Given the history of lack of hygiene within the confines of China,
and also the fact that Wuhan is larger and more congested than any city in the U.S.
improper disposal of research materials seems quite possible, if not probable. ]
I don’t know where you’re getting the idea that Wuhan is more congested than any city in the US. The “city”, at 3300 sq miles, is 1/3 larger than the entire state of Delaware. The Chinese definition of “city” appears to be “region with population 10m or above”. By that definition, Pennsylvania would be a “city”. At 3,400 per sq mile, Wuhan’s population density is lower than the top 133 US cities, which bottoms out at about 10,000 per sq mile (Redondo Beach, CA).

Thank you !
I admit and stand corrected about Wuhan population density.
Correction appreciated !
