Contents
Own words
On 24 January 2020 the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security issued a "Statement about nCoV and our pandemic exercise" that clarified that "We are not now predicting that the nCoV-2019 outbreak will kill 65 million people. Although our tabletop exercise included a mock novel coronavirus, the inputs we used for modeling the potential impact of that fictional virus are not similar to nCoV-2019."[3]
Participants
The event was introduced by Anita Cicero and chaired by Tom Inglesby.[4] The official website listed 15 "players", although a couple more appear to be seated in the photo (left). "Participants included representatives from NBCUniversal, UPS [Eduardo Martinez], and Johnson & Johnson [Adrian Thomas]."[5]
Content
The event was introduced by a video featuring "Mike Ryan, the executive director at who and the head of who is emergency program".[4]
The conjectured pandemic was "a SARS-like virus, germinating quietly among pig farms in Brazil before spreading to every country in the world." The site reported that "fictional newscasters from "GNN" narrated, the immune-resistant virus (nicknamed CAPS) was crippling trade and travel, sending the global economy into freefall."

Reporting
As of March 2020, Wikipedia reported that "The exercise illustrated areas where public/private partnerships will be necessary during the response to a severe pandemic in order to diminish large-scale economic and societal consequences."[6]

| COVID-19/Timeline | “the next epidemic could originate on the computer screen of a terrorist intent on using genetic engineering to create a synthetic version of the smallpox virus . . . or a super contagious and deadly strain of the flu. [...] Whether it occurs by a quirk of nature or at the hand of a terrorist, epidemiologists say a fast-moving airborne pathogen could kill more than 30 million people in less than a year. And they say there is a reasonable probability the world will experience such an outbreak in the next 10-15 years.” | Bill Gates | 17 February 2017 |
