'Cyber Polygon' is just over and we have numerous 'cyber attacks' occurring, and China has just been publicly accused of a big Microsoft Exchange servers attack.
"Crimson Contagion was a joint exercise conducted from January to August 2019, in which numerous national, state and local, private and public organizations in the US participated, in order to test the capacity of the federal government and twelve states to respond to a severe pandemic of influenza originating in China... The simulated virus was dubbed "H7N9 Influenza". Conduct of Crimson Contagion begins at a point 47 days after the first case is discovered in the United States. According to the results of the coordinating draft report, dated October 2019, the Crimson Contagion simulation registers 110 million infected Americans, 7.7 million hospitalizations, and 586,000 fatalities."

Not a very big one, however; all countries have plans to deal with pandemics and scientists and modellers trying to predict and prepare for the worst. Naturally, democratic governments don't like spending taxpayers' money and they don't usually have a long-term outlook, so they do not fund preparation for unlikely events - it probably won't happen on their watch, so let the next lot deal with it, if it ever occurs.
