"Crimson Contagion" exercise shortly before COVID?
So a while back I had come across a wikipedia article called "Crimson Contagion" that was supposedly an exercise on a virus coming to the US from China.
This was was supposedly ran between Jan-Aug of 2019.
Then found this findings report hosted on a New York times server that supposedly show the results of the exercise. (Note: It says "Draft Do Not Distribute" on it, so how did they get it?)
Still as a skeptic I don't see either as proof that it was actually done, because anyone can write anything.
Then earlier today I find this official June 2020 Senate hearing report on Congress.gov where the exercise is mentioned by name and Gene Dodaro (Comptroller General of the United States) admits that we were not ready for a serious influenza let alone something as bad as COVID.
So to me, this is now proof that the exercise WAS actually ran, as you can't get more official than a senate hearing.
So, what are the chances that the government would run this exercise that ended shortly before the first cases of COVID were being reported in China?
hmmm....
(NOTE: The hearing report is an interesting read)
