has also advice for bush and obama white house, so that i would like to have you help me welcome john barry to the podium. [applause] barry: thank you and thanks for coming and thanks for putting together this conference. i want to give you a very quick summary of what happened in 1918 and what we might learn from it. the estimates of the death toll start at 35 million go to 100 million. adjusted for population, that would be approximately 150 million to 400 million today. most of the dead were adults aged 20 to 50. probably between 30% of the entire population of people in those age groups died. certain subgroups, it was worse than that. there were numerous studies of pregnant women that had case mortality rates from 23% to 71%. in virgin populations, it was not unusual for 20% to 30% of the entire population to die. and although the focus has often been on young adults who died they are not the only people who died. look at children. even in the west, where case mortality was the lowest, the 1918 pandemic killed as many children aged 1 to 4 as today die of all causes over a 20 year period

i do believe very strongly in the message that john barry gave us about communication and officials committeecan get we know a lot more about effective fumigation and health crisis, and working as best we can to get political leadership to follow those principles will be key. and lastly i just wanted to respond to the point that health leadership kept out the rest of the response emergency response leadership. in the united states we have been working for the past 15 years to get public health seat at the table, and it's been an important and challenging journey to get there. i don't see us ever having the lead in national response of this nature, but having the voice and letting scientists be at the table with the political leadership has been very important. >> the community participation is crucial, but the first thing to have a community participation is trusting authorities that are telling them what to do. if they don't trust the health officers or the government in an everyday basis, why would the trust in any crisis? so it is a very complicated aspect. we have to build that. i'm just

when i came out of her room, i saw a good friend director john barry. also a blacklisted exile. on the floor of the corridor of the american hospital in paris. i said but jack, you hardly knew my mother. between tears and sobs, jack barry said i'm crying for all of us. in 1951, the u.s. embassy took my passport. i couldn't go anywhere. of course i had the children with me. ben was born in canada. became a us citizen. the u.s. state department took away his american citizen ship. but he did not get his canadian back automatically. not at all. he was stateless. a most wonderful thing for the french. they thought stateless was -- the french gave him papers that showed a he was stateless. and could travel everywhere. with no passport. i told you this was a jolly story. so we, well -- me, i didn't write. i didn't travel. i didn't anything. i bought and furnished two beautiful houses with beautiful antiques and encouraged seven beautiful children. in 1958, by act of the u.s. sue peer your court, they gave me back my passport. and gave ben back his citizen ship. soon after, ben got his

i met john power through my father and barry and so we struck up a conversation. he was this tiny little guy, not at all attractive but it turns out i majored in theater and minored in politics, turns out he had taught theater at a college in texas. we had a conversation, why don't you come to the hill and go to the senate dining room for lunch. how nice. i worked on the hill for barry. made the date for lunch and that day the secretary called and said the senator is really tied up so can't do lunch so have dinner. i didn't know how to say no, come up to the hill so i went up there, let's go, went to france in georgetown which was a very posh restaurant, started trying to hold my hand at dinner, he was married and i was frantic because he was really repulsive. and and i have got to get home because i have to go to work tomorrow. i started to hail a cab. and it is called the espionage, they were blacked out on the front door, this man with the cape over his eyes. that is where the congressman and senators went to take their girlfriends and with this little parlor w
