Are you ready for a pandemic?
Michael Osterholm warned Rochester, Minn. residents Wednesday that they should not count on the federal government for help should a pandemic flu break out.
"The current national disaster response system will collapse in a minute," Osterholm told more than 200 people at the third annual Noel R. Peterson Founders Lecture Series.
Local readiness, even personal readiness, will decide how things go, he said.
