You are correct. The release from the lab was accidental. The intention was to move infected individuals into the EU and US. I don't believe the lethality of the infecting agent is a factor when determining whether the act was an act of war or not. For instance, a neutron bomb or an emp device are very disruptive to infrastructures but are not lethal devices. Deployment of such a device would clearly be an act of war. The infrastructure disruption of Covid-19 is comparable.
