and the point of going to the trouble and cost to engineer a virus is to increase lethality, chances of infection, speed of infection spread and to actually be able to control where it goes, a smart virus could be coded to die out after dividing a few hundred times, giving it an area of effect, rather than just spreading willy nilly all over the place, making it more like a bomb, one that'd be more targeted more certain, and wont make a sound or a bang

....as well as if your the one to make it, you'll be the one to make a vaccine at the same time, but making a vaccinne or cure for an engineered virus would be incredibly hard, you'd have to start from scratch, whereas existing things like ebola are much easier (comparatively) to treat
