Overall, well done John Hopkins Uni; not bad, considering. They pitched a pretty good scenario at the talking heads, who in turn correctly identified that organisation being dependent upon money is a major problem.
Thankfully, actual events are turning out much less bad than that. The world is on course for about four or five million deaths after eighteen months rather the than sixty-five million of the scenario. You can see what’s happened here at Worldometers, click the “logarithmic” buttons on the “Daily New Cases” and “Daily Deaths” graphs near the top of the page to get the “Total Cases” and “Total Deaths” graphs. Infection didn’t continue to increase exponentially, which would be a straight rising line on these graphs (note the increments on the vertical axis); in the second half of April 2020 the Total Cases lane starts to bend towards levelling off, and at about the start of May the Total Deaths line clearly turns a corner.
Societal behaviour achieved this.
