We find it troubling that these simulated wargame scenarios are not being won by America. This is a good wake-up call. Common knowledge has the military as being always ready to fight the last war. So, consider what our military, industrial complex is comfortable funding through Congress. Spoiler alert, it is largely weapons systems that would have helped win the last war.

Please see the first comment below for the Chinese view of Unconventional Warfare.

This blog's author has done very nice modeling of COVID-19 on a Country basis. We have known and read David Merkel for more than 20-years. He is a statistician and has been an actuary and a bond trader and manager of bond departments for insurance companies. His analysis is very similar to what your state health department uses and what the CDC uses to model epidemic progression in a population. Highly recommended reading.

The new research (pdf), led by epidemiologist Dr. Neil Ferguson and published Monday by the Imperial College of London, shows that merely acting to slow rather than completely stop the spread of COVID-19 would "still likely result in hundreds of thousands of deaths and health systems (most notably intensive care units) being overwhelmed many times over."

Unless you have had Public Health Courses recently, you will learn a lot from this paper.
