The team is top eugenicists, right? It's five senior associates with the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security. Sure. A professor from Texas State. Naturally. And a Masters of Public Health candidate from Columbia University.

So, honestly, beyond that, I don't think there's anything suspicious about this event 201. It was a get-together of people with different expertises, which was hosted by the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security. These experts basically had a symposium where they discussed their reactions to hypothetical pandemic event. That they had set up. They represented people from business fields, governmental organizations, and NGOs, the latter of which is why there was a representative from the Bill and Melinda Gates organization who was involved. You can go to the website for the Center for Health Safety and watch the entire thing. I watched most of it last night. It's really just people talking about the implications of a developing emergency and how they feel to be inclined to respond.

In the past 18 years, there have been two major outbreaks of coronaviruses, with SARS in 2002 and MERS in 2012. The host of the event, when she's giving a speech setting everything up, even points out that they wanted to create a scenario for the experts to discuss that was realistic. And if that's your goal, a coronavirus is a great candidate to base your hypothetical disease on.
