Pandemic (Joy)

Joy:

Well, it's basically about what happens when a pandemic strikes and folks are put into play to find a cure as fast as possible. So player roles are: dispatcher, medic, scientist, researcher, operations expert, contingency planner, or quarantine specialist.

Rhonda:

So it's like now.

Joy:

Wow, look who's woke up. Anyway, there's countries. People hard at work looking for a vaccine. Monoclonal.

Teddy:

I read an article last year that said DARPA was involved in these kinds of war games. P3, I think the writer called it. There was some Canadian company that got one of the first cell samples of an American Covid survivor and they had on their website -- wait, wait, here it is (shows a link to Abcellera, paragraph 2 reference to games) -- and said they could have a therapeutic monoclonal solution to Covid-19 in 60 days. They held war games -- simulated a pandemic just a year before we had one!!! (tears his shirt) Oh --oh-- oh, it means Pearl Harbor was a gimme...(pulls hair, wig falls off)
