Lt.Gov. Brian Dubie comments yesterday on his personal role in flu preparations .
“As an airline captain, I was given guidance that said if I detected flu like symptoms on my passengers I was supposed to make sure they didn’t get on the airplane, which is a little problematic from the reality standpoint. I said yeah, right, I’m going to interview 150 people…”
The advisory group represents local, state and federal officials and it’s designed to coordinate response to terrorism and other threats.
He has according to news reports made a specialty of emergency preparedness because of his role in the Air Force Reserve and his experience lending a hand following the attacks of Sept. 11.
Dubie is basically mocking the idea that as an airline pilot he can do anything to effectively combat the disease. Don’t you agree that he is basically correct?
time and setting would have been be more mock appropriate .
He made this remark in his other role as Lt.Gov. and Douglas’s chair of the Homeland Security Advisory Council during a conference call to reassure the state about emergency preparations.
He’s chair of the Vermont Homeland Security Advisory Council??? We’re in t-r-o-u-b-l-e…
