What? How does that happen? I mean, aren’t the extremely dangerous viruses locked up somewhere with a big red button and/or sign saying ‘EXTREMELY DANGEROUS VIRUS! DO NOT TOUCH!’

Allegedly, the viruses are killed before they’re sent. Allegedly, some people/agencies need these viruses to practice and prepare for deadly outbreaks. And the Defense Department uses them in training and probably in preparation to attack other countries. Testing and research can be full of risks, although a red warning button on each container might help.
