This is what they could be held accountable for:
SARS and MERS were both also coronaviruses
SARS only killed ~785 people over an 18 month period from 2003-2005.
MERS had a fatality rate of ~34%, it really did kill people with ease, and the Arabs quickly contained it
SARS was then isolated, genetically-reengineered to SARS2 (aka Covid-19) and propagated in the lab to select for increased virulence via ACE2 receptor binding by the Spike protein due to an added furin site (this is an example of a gain-of-function (GOF) study).
Then SARS2 likely escaped the lab into the Wuhan local wet market due to poor biosafety containment techniques by lab personnel.
The difference between SARS and MERS was the presence of a furin cleavage site at S1/S2 boundary in the MERS spike protein. This is what they were trying to mimic by creating SARS2 in the lab, they were trying to mimic MERS' lethality by adding a furin cleavage site to SARS.
