"The frightening scenario of a comprehensive cyberattack could bring a complete halt to the power supply, transportation, hospital services, our society as a whole," said Schwab. "The COVID-19 crisis would be seen in this respect as a small disturbance in comparison to a major cyberattack." (Related: World Economic Forum pushing for Great Reset through a "cyber-attack with COVID-like characteristics.")

"I believe that there will be another crisis," said WEF Managing Director Jeremy Jurgens. "It will be more significant. It will be faster than what we've seen with COVID. The impact will be greater, and as a result, the economic and social implications will be even more significant."

Schwab, Jurgens and other WEF executives described this Great Reset scenario as a massive, chaotic economic and social crisis that disrupts the internet, communication systems, financial and monetary transactions, the power grid, global transportation and commodity trade systems. These compounding crises will have "geopolitical" ramifications.

To simulate the lead-up to the Great Reset, the WEF has sponsored multiple exercises that try and capture just how devastating it will be.

The organization recently held "Event 201," a scenario wherein a novel zoonotic coronavirus transmitted from animals makes its way into the human population.

According to the results of this simulation, over 65 million people all over the world would die from this uncontrolled pandemic after 18 months. The simulation ended with the imaginary coronavirus turning into an endemic childhood disease.
