In October 2019, an exercise called 'Event 201' simulated a pandemic with a fictional airborne coronavirus. Dr. Mike Ryan, among the participants, acknowledged the rapid spread of respiratory pathogens by asymptomatic individuals. However, three months later, as a real coronavirus spread, the WHO denied its airborne nature. This contradiction raises questions about the organization's response.

📹 October 2019: ‘Event 201’, a pandemic exercise with a fictional novel coronavirus that spreads through the air. Among the participants: @DrMikeRyan. Three months later, a real coronavirus is rapidly spreading, but the @WHO hides and denies that this coronavirus is airborne.
Video Transcript AI Summary
CAPS is a novel coronavirus related to SARS and MERS. It is easily transmitted through the air, making everyone susceptible. If not controlled, it could cause a severe global pandemic. However, there is some confusion about its airborne nature. While it spreads through droplets, it is not technically considered airborne. The World Health Organization has emphasized the importance of all modes of transmission.

Speaker 0: CAPS is a novel coronavirus related to those viruses that caused the frightening SARS epidemic in 2003 and the deadly MERS outbreaks in recent years. Global public health experts are very concerned about this disease because it appears the virus is readily transmitted through the air from person to person, essentially, all people are susceptible. Experts agree, unless it is quickly controlled, it could lead to a severe pandemic, an outbreak that circles the globe and affects people everywhere. This is airborne. Corona is airborne.
Its name. And also I I use the military word warm. It meant to spread via droplets. It is not airborne. So, no, it's not airborne.
So in that sense, the virus does spread through the air. WHO has been saying this since the stack. All of These modes of transmission are important.

Oct. 2019, @DrMikeRyan about the pandemic exercise with an *airborne coronavirus*: “addresses real & critical threats.” “respiratory pathogens are often transmitted by asymptomatic persons. They spread fast.” Then why @WHO’s airborne denial when the exercise became a reality? https://t.co/13bdAMfu3M
Video Transcript AI Summary
We are addressing real and critical threats related to a novel coronavirus called CAPS, which is similar to the viruses that caused the SARS epidemic and MERS outbreaks. We need to be prepared for a fast-moving and highly lethal pandemic of a respiratory pathogen. This disease is more transmissible than SARS or MERS and as contagious as influenza. The virus can be easily transmitted through the air, making everyone susceptible. Asymptomatic individuals can also spread the virus, leading to a severe pandemic that affects people worldwide. Many countries will be affected simultaneously.

Speaker 0: The issues you will be dealing with over the next hours, may be tabletop exercises today, but they address real and critical threats, which we at WHO take very seriously.
Speaker 1: CAPS is a novel coronavirus related to those viruses that caused As the frightening SARS epidemic in 2003 and the deadly MERS outbreaks in recent years.
Speaker 0: The scenario you will be presented with this morning could easily become 1 shared reality, one day. I fully expect, that we will be confronted by a fast moving, highly lethal pandemic of respiratory pathogen.
Speaker 1: This disease is proving more Transmissible than SARS or MERS, and about as contagious as influenza.
Speaker 0: Question is, are we prepared to globally respond to the next major pandemic event.
Speaker 1: Because it appears the virus is readily transmitted through the air from person to person, Essentially, all people are susceptible.
Speaker 0: Many countries will be affected at the same time. This is particularly true with the respiratory pathogen as they are often transmitted by asymptomatic persons. They spread fast.
Speaker 1: It could lead to a severe pandemic, An outbreak that circles the globe and affects people everywhere.
