Decoding the WHO Arctic 'Mammothpox' Crisis!

The @WHO tested global pandemic readiness through a simulation called "Mammothpox," involving a fictional Arctic virus. Officials from 15 countries participated in this complex exercise led by Dr. Mike Ryan in Geneva. The scenario imagined a virus released from thawed permafrost after a mammoth excavation, causing swift international spread. Different nations tried varied approaches, from strict border controls to contact tracing, mimicking real Covid-19 strategies. Although the virus was contained, WHO admits real-world outcomes could be challenging.
