What are your thoughts on the CDCs wanting to get everone prepared for nuclear war? I have supplied two links for you to get background information on this topic and the CDC live streaming of the public broadcast. [www]. Cdc. Gov/cdcgrandrounds/archives/2018/January2018. Htm

Scares the shit out of me. Its the end of the world as we know it.
While any preparations may be ineffective in the case of nuclear conflict, a store of food, water and clothing would be of great use during outbreaks of terrorism or natural disaster. Keep in mind, though, that a State of Fear is one of the conditions that Authoritarian Regimes impose on a populace......
Did we revert to the 1950's ? In the event of such a conflict the only safe place to be is in Australia the trade winds theory. Figure it the conflict is with Russia figure about 2 warheads per state if China figure 2 warheads per city if you do not get evaporated on impact figure a week with the worst symptoms in agony until you die. There is no preparing there is no known way to cure radiation sickness.
I was in grade school during the Cuban Missile Crisis, and we were taught to get under the desk for protection. As if!
I remember those drills very well. Lol!
I still tell the same story from time to time. The game has changed as more players join as the years go by. It seems like nuclear war is inevitable. I think it is more dangerous now than when I was a kid. So sad.
It seems to me that re-educating public officials periodically on dealing with the medical consequence of nuclear blasts goes on about ever 5 or so years for the last few decades. Does not really alarm me seems as long as these weapons exist having public health people trained to deal with the issues is a good idea. If there ever was a nuclear war even a small one healthcare would be totally overwhelmed with the casualties it would be even worse if they were not prepared.
