Selected moments from the Event 201 pandemic tabletop exercise hosted by The Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security in partnership with the World Economic Forum and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation on October 18, 2019, in New York, NY

The exercise illustrated the pandemic preparedness efforts needed to diminish the large-scale economic and societal consequences of a severe pandemic. Drawing from actual events, Event 201 identifies important policy issues and preparedness challenges that could be solved with sufficient political will and attention. These issues were designed in a narrative to engage and educate the participants and the audience.

I think the Ethereum platform is gonna be the foundation for a new economic model

Let's make an initial dichotomy. There's personal and company spending. Personal spending we want private 99%+ of the time, company spending (including non-profit, for-profit, et al) we generally would like transparent. There are also all of the nuances of contract law, corporate charters, non-profit charters, cooperative charters, tort law, etc..

All of these can be encoded into smart contracts as long as they have deterministic inputs.

Company outputs into personal accounts can be labelled with the person (if desired) and then sent through an ERC20-complaint tumbler token, which is backwards compatible with any tagged public token based on smart contracts - either ERC20 or maybe Ethereum itself - allowing a completely transparent macroeconomy with personal privacy. Organizational charters can be written as smart contracts so that budgets are controlled by arbitrary sets of rules involving inputs from corporate members - "Should we fund this? A majority of at least 20% of participants says yes."

Since we are talking about Turing-complete smart contracts, I'm sure this just scratches the surface...

Any corrections or thoughts welcome...
