| Description | Tabletop simulation of a global biological warfare attack predicting an apocalyptic outcome. Included several senior pandemic planners. |
A Spreading Plague was a pandemic planning exercise held in 2019 with senior leaders from around the world aimed at "identifying gaps and making recommendations to improve the global system for responding to deliberate, high consequence biological events."[1]
The exercise, one of many in an intensifying schedule of pandemic exercises at the end of the decade, helped establish a personal connection between health bureaucrats and people central on the global pandemic circuit from the big foundations and the US biosecurity state, people like Chris Elias (Gates Foundation), Tim Evans, Jeremy Farrar (Wellcome trust) or Beth Cameron.[2]
Scenario
The fictitious scenario begins in winter 2018 as an emergency meeting is called by the WHO Director General in response to a request for assistance from the nation of Vestia, a country embroiled in civil unrest whose UN-recognized government relies on an international military coalition to cope with an ongoing, but nearly extinguished, insurgency. Vestia’s leaders are dealing with an unusual outbreak in an area of the country recently vacated by a terrorist organization. People are complaining of flu-like symptoms—and they are dying fast, with a case fatality rate of 80 percent. The disease appears to be pneumonic plague, and the antibiotics typically used to treat plague aren’t working
Although the Vestia scenario was developed to exercise response to the deliberate use of a biological agent, much of what transpired also would apply to other high-consequence, unusual, or potentially globally catastrophic biological scenarios", so highly relevant for the COVID-19 reaction.
With cases spreading to Europe and the United States, the WHO declares a Public Health Emergency of International Concern, and the Prime Minister of Vestia asks the United Nations Secretary-General for an investigation into alleged use of a biological weapon.
As the scenario progresses, the agent is sequenced and found to be genetically engineered and antibiotic resistant. The scenario ends with a terrorist group claiming responsibility and intelligence reports linking that group to a potential state sponsor.
