CLADE X EXERCISE, EL SIMULACRO PANDÉMICO DEL 2018 VIDEOGRABADO

"Clade" (en español "clado", palabra del griego que quiere decir "rama") es un término científico. En biología, se llama clado a cada una de las ramas del árbol filogenético propuesto para agrupar a los seres vivos. Por consiguiente, un clado se interpreta como un conjunto de especies emparentadas (con un antepasado común).
Con esto presente, el simulacro de pandemia de 2018 "enriqueció" su complejidad. La información oficial lo describe así:
The outbreak of a moderately contagious and moderately lethal novel pathogen precipitated a catastrophic end to the scenario in Clade X, the day-long pandemic tabletop exercise hosted by the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security on May 15 in Washington, DC.
Clade X simulated a series of National Security Council–convened meetings of 10 US government leaders, played by individuals prominent in the fields of national security or epidemic response. Their dialogue as the scenario unfolded addressed significant uncertainties in current prevention and response capabilities, hamstrung by policy challenges at the federal level.
The scenario opens with the present-day outbreak of a new, serious respiratory disease in Germany and Venezuela. Soon after, Clade X is identified as a novel strain of human parainfluenza virus with genetic elements of Nipah virus. In the weeks that follow a fringe group bent on reducing the human population claims responsibility for the creation and intentional release of the disease. Authorities confirm those claims and verify that the novel strain was indeed engineered by the group’s scientists. There is no vaccine, and pressure grows as pockets of cases appear in the United States. Clade X quickly causes widespread, worldwide anxiety as case counts and deaths mount. Within a year, 150 million people die from the disease—15 million in the United States alone.
At the conclusion of the exercise, the Center presented 6 strategic policy goals needing commitment from the United States to prevent or reduce the worst possible outcomes in future pandemics. Those recommendations are:
Develop capability to produce new vaccines and drugs for novel pathogens within months not years.
Pioneer a strong and sustainable global health security system.
Build a robust, highly capable national public health system that can manage the challenges of pandemic response.
Develop a national plan to effectively harness all US healthcare assets in a catastrophic pandemic.
Implement an international strategy for addressing research that increases pandemic risks.
Ensure the national security community is well prepared to prevent, detect, and respond to infectious disease emergencies.

Ahora el "escenario" del simulacro consistió en una nueva enfermedad respiratoria seria, una parainfluenza, mezclada con elementos genéticos del virus Nipah. La creación de esta enfermedad se la atribuye un grupo que desea reducir la población... Como siempre, no hay vacuna y mueren 150 millones de personas por esta enfermedad en un solo año... Los resultados del ejercicio se resumen en las mismas recomendaciones anteriores: la necesidad de un plan de seguridad en salud global, así como estrategias internacionales para enfrentar este tipo de escenarios...
Los videos están en el canal oficial del centro de salud de la John Hopkins, en Youtube. La transmisión es larga... a nadie le interesó en su momento y los pocos medios de prensa en español informaron este simulacro con bastante amarillismo. Aquí están los videos, para el que entienda inglés (no se han traducido hasta la fecha al español):
