CDC to Prepare Americans for Nuclear Detonation in America

I remember back in the 1970's when one of our teachers played an old video from the 1950's called "Duck and Cover".  It showed school kids seeing a flash out the window while sitting in school and quickly would dive under their desks.  It showed a boy riding his bike when he see a nuclear flash and falls off his bike and quickly dives under a park bench.

The voice of the narrator said that we could never know if a nuclear explosion would be in our future but if you do see one, DUCK AND COVER!

Of course we all thought the video was great fun!  It was in black and white and even though was only made 25 years earlier, it seemed silly for a variety of reasons.

Today we have North Korea openly threatening USA with nuclear attack....so maybe the CDC is about ready to reveal a new version of DUCK AND COVER.

‘Preparing For The Unthinkable’: CDC To Hold Briefing On How To Prepare The Public For a Nuclear Detonation In America

Amid rising tensions between the United States and North Korea, the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention have scheduled a briefing for later this month that will teach healthcare professionals how to better prepare the public for a nuclear detonation in America.

The “teaching session” will target doctors, nurses, epidemiologists, pharmacists, veterinarians, certified health education specialists, laboratory scientists, and others and will be held January 16th.

A posting on the CDC website outlines the agencies “Public Health Response to a Nuclear Detonation” which details the need to be able to inform the public on how to possibly survive such an attack.

“While a nuclear detonation is unlikely, it would have devastating results and there would be limited time to take critical protection steps. Despite the fear surrounding such an event, planning and preparation can lessen deaths and illness,” the notice reads.

“For instance, most people don’t realize that sheltering in place for at least 24 hours is crucial to saving lives and reducing exposure to radiation. While federal, state, and local agencies will lead the immediate response efforts, public health will play a key role in responding.”

"While people are saying 'Peace and safety', destruction will come upon them suddenly.'...is the Bible verse that runs through my head.

I personally don't believe that we will see a nuclear war BEFORE the rapture of the church.  This would be a devastating event that doesn't meet the parameters of Jesus telling us that the world will be buying, selling, planting, building, marrying and giving marriage.  He seems to be telling us that the world will just be going about all it's "business as normal" right up until the time when the trumpet blows and He calls His bride up into the sky to meet him.
