Nuclear war is more unsafe than releasing a corona virus and yet it is a possibility. Releasing corona virus is not as bad as a nuclear strike. Where does it land in terms of how to respond. There is no threat of China invading the U.S. and vice versa but there is a threat of causing a global disruption. China is much better equipped to deal with a viral outbreak than the U.S. This is especially so given the effects of disinformation regarding vaccines has caused. The CCP is much better equipped to deal with supply chain issues than either major party in the U.S. Sometimes just the threat of releasing something is enough to change the response other nations are willing to do. If China invades Taiwan are we willing to risk dire consequences by militarily intervening? Suppose a virus is released but has less effect on people with genetic markers that East Asian people have but Europeans and Africans do not. I believe your view of how a corona virus can be used is too limited.
