WHEN THE FLU STRIKES
Today on House Calls, we’ll talk with John Barry, author of The Great Influenza: The Epic Story of the Deadliest Plague in History, about the lessons learned from the 1918 influenza pandemic that killed more than 25 million people world wide and how it changed the face of American medicine. We’ll also talk with epidemiologist Paul Brummond about local and personal preparedness in the face of an epidemic and with Christina Eschert on the role of the Medical Reserve Corps in emergency response.
