The best way to handle it would be to investigate the origin, then have trials and executions for everyone remotely complicit with tinkering with technology that could end the human race. If that were 100k bureaucrats and scientists spread across the world that would be a small price to pay to leave a definitive message. "though shalt not engage in biological tinkering that could extinguish the human race". With splicing, editing, and modeling SW improving exponentially this tinkering can't be allowed. Do it and be executed! That is the best way to handle it.
Failure to do this means with time and decrease in cost/equipment needed to genetically engineer viruses an extinction event is inevitable. It would be like having the worlds largest Nuke within reach of anyone with $50k and an empty garage, and have no prohibitions against it.
The only thing that is going to sear it into people's brains are trials and public executions of a large number of people. It would be the most responsible thing we could do.

I believe a treaty needed to be passed to ban bioweapon development with tangible enforcement after the fact.
