Pandemic simulation exercise spotlights massive preparedness gap

Event 201, hosted by the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, envisions a fast-spreading coronavirus with a devastating impact

Back in 2001, it was a smallpox outbreak, set off by terrorists in U.S. shopping malls. This fall, it was a SARS-like virus, germinating quietly among pig farms in Brazil before spreading to every country in the world.
With each fictional pandemic Johns Hopkins experts have designed, the takeaway lesson is the same: We are nowhere near prepared.
"Once you're in the midst of a severe pandemic, your options are very limited," says*Eric Toner, a senior scholar at the*Center for Health Security*at Johns Hopkins University. "The greatest good can happen with pre-planning."

They're just saying what we knew all along. Be prepared. All hospitals have these type of "What if's" in place. Should be interesting to see if there is enough medicine for the respritory problems that will be the biggest threat.
