 === Notable Similarities to COVID-19 ===
-Due to questions surrounding the similarities between the narrative of [[:Event 201]] and the real-life COVID-19 pandemic, the JHCHS released a statement denying any foreknowledge of the latter. The statement, dated January 24, 2020, clarified that the centre was "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."((JHCHS. (2020, January 24). //Statement about nCoV and our pandemic exercise.// Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security. https://www.centerforhealthsecurity.org/news/center-news/2020/2020-01-24-Statement-of-Clarification-Event201.html)) However, less than two months later, [[:Neil Ferguson]] and his team at [[:Imperial College London]] predicted 2,710,000 deaths in the United Kingdom and United States alone.((Ferguson, N. M., Laydon, D., & Nedjati-Gilani, G.

-By the very first word, a similarity in naming is obvious - "SPARS" vs "SARS". Both also have similar extended names, "SPARS-CoV" and "[[SARS-CoV-2]]", which are acronyms for "St. Paul Acute Respiratory Syndrome
