Such as the Ebola virus. Forewarned is forearmed. That research can’t be done without gathering the animals and running the tests. One hope is that if there is ever a breakout of some new disease in humans, or chickens, or whatever, the organism will have already been identified, which helps virologists. That research is best done in countries where the animals live. It’s hard to gather hundreds of bats in China and bring them here for testing, and it is also much more expensive than working with a lab in China. So mostly this is about building a database and keeping samples in the freezers. This also involves constantly searching for mutations that might be dangerous and trying to anticipate what mutations might be forthcoming.
Here is a paragraph from the New York Post article you link to that is from the NIH clarifying what must happen if a deadlier variant is found:

In order to believe what you just said, people have to put aside their insistence that the conspiracies without merit MUST be true. They have to forgo the notion that "fiction based on things I, an ordinary layman, can't possibly understand," has to be fact that sounds impressive so I'll believe it. They must set aside their suspension of disbelief of junk-science, and instead, believe things that a) make sense, b) aren't accusing anyone of anything nefarious, c) don't fit some kind of political agenda to criminalize something just because you're favorite political person was stupid enough to believe it and announce to the world that they thought it was true.
If lightning strikes your house, you can blame China's dictator for directing a laser beam on the USA and aiming it for your house specifically because you know the truth about an assassin because you saw it on a youtube video.
Or, you can blame it on the weather.
Some people (especially here on ToTV) will choose the more convoluted fabrication because it sounds more interesting, and they'd rather believe life is more interesting than random cloud clusters.
