**Clade X: A Global Health Security Simulation** was a [[pandemic_war_games|pandemic planning exercise]] led by [[Johns_Hopkins_university:Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security]], formally to counter a fast-moving and deadly epidemic released on purpose by a terrorist group consisting of scientists and their rich backers wanting to reduce overpopulation. 

The exercise was co-hosted by [[PATH]], the [[Global Health Council]] and the [[Nuclear Threat Initiative]] (NTI|bio), and took place May 15, 2018 at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in [[united states of america:Washington, DC]].((//Clade X: A Global Health Security Pandemic Simulation Highlights Need to Support Global Health Security Initiatives.// (2018, August 16). Global Health Council. https://archive.ph/ySSBr))

The participants concluded that [[national_security|national]] and [[global health]] security should be "a higher priority for both the [[National Security Council]] and the [[White House Office of Science and Technology Policy]], as well as for the agencies responsible for national security policy and diplomacy (eg, [[Department of Defense]], [[Department of State]] and the intelligence community".((Watson, C., Toner, E. S., Shearer, M. P., Rivers, C., Meyer, D., Hurtado, C., Watson, M., Gronvall, G. K., Adalja, A. A., Sell, T. K., Inglesby, T., & Cicero, A. (2019). //Clade X: A Pandemic Exercise.// Health Security, 17(5), 410–417. https://doi.org/10.1089/hs.2019.0097)) ((//About Clade X, a tabletop exercise.// (2018, May 15).
