CATASTROPHIC CONTAGION:

On October 23, 2022, The Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, in partnership with WHO and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, conducted Catastrophic Contagion; a pandemic tabletop exercise at the Grand Challenges Annual Meeting in Brussels, Belgium.

These are the same organisations that played out Event 201 almost three years ago to the day.

Catastrophic Contagion simulated a new Enterovirus originating near Brazil. The virus has a higher fatality rate than COVID-19 and disproportionately affects children.

Lessons from the exercise: "Countries should prioritise efforts to increase trust in government and public health; improve public health communication efforts; increase the resiliency of populations to misleading information; and reduce the spread of harmful misinformation"
