Like shortly before.

Explain that to people.

So Event 201 was a tabletop exercise shortly before the COVID pandemic in which a scenario suspiciously like the COVID pandemic happened.

was portrayed with sort of medium production values.

You know, false news reports and things were broadcast to the participants, you know.

And so basically you took a bunch of people who would ultimately play some role in the pandemic and you put them through a trial run where they got to make the decisions that caused them to censor the misinformation spreaders and to mandate the this and that and to

advocate for the so-and-so.

I don't think we have yet understood why a tabletop exercise happened.

It's possible it was just a coincidence.

I think it's highly unlikely it was just a coincidence, but I don't think we know why they run them.

I think there's a meaning to it, right?

I don't know if it is a pump priming thing where the idea is we know this is coming for some reason.

And in order to make it go down the way we want it to go down, everybody has to have practiced their role.

They have to go through a rehearsal, right?

Is that what it was?

Is it a mechanism of spreading a kind of word, you know, in a way that has plausible deniability so that people will understand that some powerful force is engaged in something?

I don't know.

But what I do know is that we haven't figured it out, that it's just this weird historical anomaly that, oh, yeah, there was a tabletop exercise, wasn't there?

And it looked an awful lot like COVID.

And it could have been.
