The Council on Foreign Relations held a live Webcast last week, and now the video is available for those who missed it. I strongly encourage anyone with a broadband (fast) Internet connection to take an hour and watch this presentation.
The entire panel is first class, but Dr. Michael Osterholm, the director of CIDRAP, proves once again that he is perhaps the finest spokesperson out there on pandemic preparedness today.
