* Scientists at Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security hosted event in October
* Exercise was not intended as a prediction; it aimed to show how governments and industry would respond to severe pandemic
* Real-world coronavirus – nCoV-2019 – has infected over 1,400 people worldwide and killed 42; epicentre, the Chinese city of Wuhan, remains on lockdown
* Center for Health Security’s inputs for modelling potential impact of fictional virus were not similar to nCoV-2019

US health experts hosted a tabletop exercise which simulated a fictional coronavirus pandemic to see how authorities could coordinate a response to such an event – three months before the deadly outbreak in China. Scientists at the prestigious Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security modelled a hypothetical pandemic on a computer as part of research last October. The exercise was not intended as a prediction – but rather served to highlight how governments and industry would respond in the case of a very severe pandemic.
