We started discussing the global alert by the swine flu. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the authorities of its member countries have been coordinating the epidemic in a way that is historically unprecedented. One might think that the initial response of WHO to the outbreak of the virus originated in Mexico A/H1N was disproportionate. Not so. This reaction was triggered by the global community-health scientist who has spent several years especially concerned about the threat of a pandemic pandemic similar to the "Spanish Flu" of 1918 which decimated the population.
We are joined in this program, our military expert Charles "Chuck" H. Beauchamp, vice president of Soldiers' Affairs Office of the Enlisted Association of the U.S. Army in Oregon.
