SCENARIO

Image Placeholder

The scenario below is a short vignette in the style of a business continuity exercise.

  • It's expected that the exercise takes place in the same room (not a technical requirement of Conducttr, just a use case here) with a large screen TV setup to work in Role 5. Video content is only sent to Role 5 and hence only displayed on the TV screen in the room.
  • No collaboration is expected but real-time data is shared with the moderator.
  • The scenario is scripted and quite automated with automatic responses depending on choices made. Again, this is something implemented for this example and not a technical requirement.
This might be a little advanced for some and has been built with the whiteboard rather than the MEL.

NEWS ARTICLES AND BLOGPOSTS



1️⃣ INCITING INCIDENT


✒️ Pandemic origin not found


Title: Patient Zero Still Not Found

The Government is still in the dark about the origins - and the cure - of the so-called "Manchester Flu".

Experts are baffled about how the virus could have started with wild speculation in local Manchester pubs that it's a weaponized bird flu from China! This is after it was revealed that among the first deaths was a wealthy Chinese industrialist and former intelligence officer who was apparently in Manchester for talks about buying the Manchester City football club.

2️⃣ WORLD REACTIONS


✒️ Victim is bio-terrorist

Title: Manchester flu victim is bio-terrorist


Joseph Mellor the Manchester dad who died in the Evergreen Hotel at Tower Hill causing it to be quarantined is in fact a bio-terrorist.

Police reveal that Mellor was part of a food activist group based in Manchester's Northern Quarter but became radicalised after his baby died from an allergic reaction to a food additive used in a pasta sauce eaten at an Evergreen Hotel

3️⃣ RIPPLE EFFECT


✒️ Terrorist demands

Title: BioHackers' Three Demands

A food pressure group called BioHackers have revealed themselves to be behind the Manchester flu pandemic.

They are offering to provide the cure so long as their three demands are met:
1. Restaurants will only use fresh ingredients that are bought from local markets
2. Only provide vegan food in the executive lounge

STORY-LINE 


You can find a plotline below where you can see how a pandemic story develops through news reports.

📅  DAY 5

----------------------------------------

Title: {data.country} says the spread of {data.city} disease can be a new {data.disease}.

TV on Thursday said that a pilot study into a {data.symptom} that has infected dozens of people in {data.country} has established the potential cause as a new type of {data.disease}. The illness is transmitted by an infected person by coughing, sneezing or contact.

According to {data.city} Municipal Health Commission, 59 people have been treated for {data.disease}. Seven of them were critical, whilst the rest were stable.

In {data.countryspread1} and {data.countryspread2} possible cases concerning recent travellers to {data.country} have been reported.

📅  DAY 10

----------------------------------------

Title: What is the {data.disease} from {data.country} and what are the symptoms?

{data.disease} belongs to a large group of viruses which, according to the Health Organisations, can induce minor illnesses such as flu and serious ones such as respiratory diseases.

This sickness can be transmitted from animals to human beings. Nevertheless, in some cases they could also be spread by humans, as seems to be the case with this recent {data.disease}.

The {data.disease} can cause various symptoms, including {data.symptom1}, {data.symptom2} and {data.symptom3}. Some specialists believe it is possible for infected people who have no symptoms to transmit the virus; the matter is still being investigated. 

📅  DAY 13

-----------------------------------------

Title: Two people have been diagnosed with {data.disease} in {data.countryspread)


The outbreaks were announced this morning by the Chief Medical Officer for {data.countryspread}, who said that the pair belonged to the same family. 

The CMO said "They have been treated in the specialist epidemiology unit of {data.city} and we’re using validated procedures to contain the outbreak and prevent the virus spreading further".

More than 160 people were tested in {data.countryspread} due to the confirmed cases, with generally negative outcomes. The {data.disease} mortality rate tends to be around 2%, slightly below other illnesses and affects mainly older people who suffer from serious medical conditions.

📅  DAY 22

------------------------------------------

Title: {data.city} transport closed as {data.disease} spreads worldwide

{data.country} officials are struggling to control a lethal new disease strain, which contaminated and killed over 100 people. All transport to and from {data.city} and neighbouring areas in which this {data.disease} outbreak originated have been blocked by the officials.

The disease has travelled to more than 15 countries around the world and several reports in {data.countryspread1} have been confirmed.

Health experts agree that the virus had initially been transmitted to humans from animals, but now the infection is spreading human-to-human.

📅  DAY 27

------------------------------------------

Title: {data.disease}: worldwide cases sows panic


The new pandemic, which emerged last month in {data.country}, has infected nearly 10,000 people.

The current number of deaths in {data.country} is 283.

On Thursday, the World Health Organization called the spread a global health emergency. There are 98 incidents outside {data.country}, but there are no deaths.

Most foreign cases occur in people who had previously been in {data.city}, {data.country}, and got infected there.
