Exhibit 066 ยท Institutional statement
Statement of clarification on Event 201
We are not now predicting that the nCoV-2019 outbreak will kill 65 million people. Although our tabletop exercise included a mock novel coronavirus, the inputs we used for modeling the potential impact of that fictional virus are not similar to nCoV-2019.
The Center states that it and its partners did not make a prediction during the exercise, that it is not predicting the nCoV-2019 outbreak will kill 65 million people, and that the inputs used to model the fictional virus are not similar to nCoV-2019.
