What is that picture of DR?
The picture is ebola. It's quite an unusual virus as you can see by it's elongated shape. It's known as a "filovirus".
As for an employee at a biofacility taking away ebola, it's highly unlikely. Ebola is dealt with under the highest level of containment (I believe
it's Level 4). This means the full suit and mask, umbilicus, the highest security.
I believe that there are only 2 or 3 other viruses that have such a high classification - one of those being Rift Valley Fever Virus.
