Minnesota Public Radio’s Mid-Morning program has an extended interview with Dr. Michael Osterholm, director of CIDRAP (Center for Infectious Disease Research & Policy) of the University of Minnesota, along with two other experts.
Dr. Osterholm, who is perhaps the best public speaker on influenza in the world, is always worth listening to.
The entire show runs an hour, and is worth listening to in its entirety. But if your time is limited, please listen to the first 30 minutes.
Highly recommended.
