Summary of what/who "EpiGirl" is (via DeepSeek):

The "SPARS Pandemic 2025-2028" scenario is a fictional planning exercise created by the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security to explore potential challenges in public health communication and response during a future pandemic. In this scenario, "EpiGirl" is a fictional character who emerges as a social media influencer and amateur epidemiologist during the hypothetical SPARS pandemic. She represents the phenomenon of individuals gaining prominence by sharing information, opinions, and analyses about the pandemic online, often without formal expertise.

EpiGirl symbolizes the role of social media and grassroots communication in shaping public perception and response during a health crisis. Her character highlights both the potential benefits (e.g., rapid dissemination of information) and risks (e.g., spreading misinformation) of such informal communication channels in a pandemic context. The scenario uses her to explore how public health officials might engage with or counteract such figures in a real-world crisis.
