I recently posted a similar, older video whose targeted audience was public health professionals and first responders.
This link includes a recent C-Span video featuring Dr. Norman Coleman.
The audience is obviously the general public.
Dr. Coleman makes a communications mistake when answering the host's question about how many people "got radiation sickness" or "died from radiation" (about 9:30)?
Dr. Coleman took the question to refer to acute health effects.
But I expected the audience would be wary of such a simplistic answer, and so the first questioner questions the doctor on the issue just minutes later. The doctor would have seemed more honest (not that he wasn't) if he had elaborated more fully originally.
