Seems important, I'm guessing people are downvoting this considering it a possible infohazard.

Speaking for myself, I object against the Twitter format. (This is what the shortform is for.)

Also, some more context would be nice. For example, how often it happens that a lab containing virus samples is captured by fighters? Once in a decade? Once in a week? I have no idea. Was this lab somehow exceptional?

This is just "hey, hey, something potentially interesting is happening, but you have to figure out what".
