With the publication of the Science letter, the Overton window for discussion of "lab leak" hypothesis has shifted dramatically. We now have mainstream scientific opinions that largely range between "lab leak can be dismissed" and "both zoonosis and lab leak are viable". 1/8
So, firstly, there's a very obvious difference between a veterinary institute having an outbreak of brucellosis and a viral leak from a lab. But ignoring that, you're not answering the question - how many have happened in the last decade?

Sounds like you didnt read the story. Why are you focusing on post-2010? History of lab escapes is decades long and undeniably demonstrates that they can cause outbreaks. Dr Baric's UNC lab had sars-infected mice escape. Gottlieb concurs that lab leaks are not uncommon.pic.twitter.com/zY1SZ53ogR

Lol, that's a different story to the one I read but also gives you an idea of how wildly different the scenarios you're imagining are. That's not a lab leak so much as a manufacturing error
