EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) - In this week's web exclusive, Eyewitness News Analyst Lt. Gen. Reginald Centracchio talks in-depth on the H1N1 flu scare.

The general broke the story that 10 schools would be used if hospitals were overcrowded. He also said private ambulance companies would be used to transport patients. The National Guard could also be mobilized to transport patients.

Centracchio also believes a bill in Congress to allow employees five paid sick days if they contract the swine flu will pass.

Other topics discussed included the one year anniversary of Obama and how the military has changed. The general says we need to focus on stabilizing Iraq and Afghanistan.
