CDC To Give Briefing On Nuclear Detonations

Just in case, right?

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has scheduled a briefing for later this month on how to plan and prepare for a nuclear detonation.

The briefing, for CDC employees, is part of a monthly series at the agency meant to “further strengthen CDC’s common scientific culture and foster discussion and debate on major public health issues.”

“While a nuclear detonation is unlikely, it would have devastating results and there would be limited time to take critical protection steps,” the CDC said in a notice for the briefing, which came the same week President Trump bragged on Twitter about U.S. nuclear capabilities.
