From the video description:Clade X is a day-long pandemic tabletop exercise hosted by the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security on May 15, 2018, in Washington, DC. The exercise simulates 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.
Drawing from actual events, Clade X identifies important policy issues and preparedness challenges that could be solved with sufficient political will and attention.These issues were designed in a narrative to engage and educate the participants and the audience. Lessons learned from Clade X will be distilled by the Center and shared broadly.
In 2017, World Bank issued and sold up to $500 million of very high yield "pandemic bonds," due to mature on July 15, 2020. "If a pandemic did not occur before the bonds mature...investors would receive what they had originally paid in addition to interest and premium payments on those bonds." BUTthe investors "would lose their money if any of six deadly pandemics hit, including coronavirus."
The pandemic would have to be global and officially recognized by the World Health Organization. Now that we have that pandemic, the bondholders will lose their money. WHO claims it will use these funds to fight the pandemic. Read more here.
