> Anyone who paid attention to the Ebola outbreak in Africa a few years back, may remember that some viruses like Ebola can hide in parts of the body where the immune system can not go, namely the eyes and the testes and sometimes the brain, so they may have remembered that blokes testing negative for Ebola but previously had it, could still be passing it on through semen.

You might find this interesting, the "few years back" might be now again: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-021-03901-9

Nothing would surprise me! I know a mad scientist who works at the UK's Porton Down, we discussed alot, but the systems are not in place to stop people shipping stuff around. Until such times as that happens, any country with the know how can release anything anywhere.

I think this Hollywood film Dont Look Up will be a poignant message to everyone.
