On the broadcast for the June 1, 2024 TNT Video (podbean.com), Bermas travels back in time with Todd McGreevy to October 15, 2009, to revisit the confirmed first media-pandemic rodeo, the H1N1 flu virus, as reported by then-Managing Editor Jeff Ignatius. If reading Ignatius’s piece gives you a sense of déjà vu, you’re not the only one: Bermas thought he had the scoop back then when he read aloud CDC preparation docs posted at Wiki Leaks back then, only to learn the Reader had beaten him by a month earlier. The two also discuss a National Public Radio broadcast about H1N1 and raw milk https://www.npr.org/2024/05/15/1251647612/a-bird-flu-outbreak-among-dairy-cows-sparks-new-warnings-about-unpasteurized-mil.
