Abstract
Bioterrorism is a form of terrorism where there is intentional release of biological agent (bacteria, virus, fungi or other germs) to cause harm, illness or death of people, livestock and crops. It is an unlawful use of microorganisms to inflict various forms of harm/harmful incidence or injuries in humans, whole population and environment. There are reasons why this COVID-19 global pandemic appears to represent a deliberate act of Bioterrorism. This is occurring at a critical time in the worldwide especially in times of US presidential election cycle. It appears to be worse in males which have implications for military which might be seen as a biological weapon. This has created a market whiplash the large pullback in markets. COVID-19 represents a tremendous opportunity for investment and wealth redistribution like Swine flu pandemic in 2008-2009 when fortunes were made during that recovery.

Summary
The microorganisms are used as chemical agents in biological warfare, either in their normal state or denatured [1]. Majority of the emerging infectious diseases including those caused by bioterrorist agents are zoonotic and parasitic. These agents are usually present in nature, but they may be mutated or altered to improve their capacity to induce illness, render them immune to current treatment, or disperse into the atmosphere. Terrorists employ biological weapons mostly to cause widespread hysteria and destruction in a state or region. Some scientists, such as "Bill Joy," have expressed concern about the possible control that genetic engineering might provide to future bioterrorists [5]. Attacks requiring the use of epidemiological method to manage effectively [7]
