Yes, I had read about these. In that exercise summary (it’s a very interesting read) there are recommendations. One is that governments should take a “no regrets” approach to pandemic response.
Also in the summary is a timeline (this was held in 2021) for the scenario. The “fictional” attack date is 15 May 2022. The pathogen is identified as Monkey Pox.
The probability of predicting those two events so precisely back in 2021 seems so small to me that I think this summary is actually a rehearsal of the plan.
I think we’re in for a very rough ride. And I concur, I would take my chances with the Monkey Pox. That is the least of our concerns in my opinion.
Do you have a link to what you mention? 🙂
