Crimson Contagion 2019 Functional Exercise
CRIMSON CONTAGION
No stable public link
What the document is
A national exercise series run from January to August 2019 rehearsing federal, state, and local response to a severe influenza pandemic originating in China. The draft after action findings described shortfalls in funding, supplies, and coordination between agencies.
Why it is in the report
Seven months before the real thing, the federal government rehearsed the exact failure modes that followed, and wrote them down.
What this document does not say. The draft after action report was not published by the government at the time; it reached the public through news reporting in March 2020. Treat secondary coverage as secondary and say so when you cite it.
