>hurrr, howza newspaper gon protek u from an ATUM BOM!?
If you're away from the hypocenter of the blast, which a great deal of people would be, even a thin cloth will protect you from the thermal pulse, preventing burns.
>hurrr howa skool desk gon saev u from nuke-you-ler wepin?
If you're at ground zero, nothing will save you. However, many millions of people live and work miles from the target centers. In those areas, where the effect of the weapon would be limited to initial radiation and shockwave, rather than blast, emphasis on fast, light covering during the initial infrared, beta, and alpha particle burst, as well as seeking protection from flying debris thrown up by the shockwave, would have prevented hundreds of thousands of injuries and deaths.
Don't listen to ignorant Baby Boomers. It wasn't propaganda or panacea. At the time it came out (1952) it was extremely useful.

Yeah. It would have saved lives. I guess this is a nuclear discussion thread?
In related news, a man who survived the Nagasaki bombing died recently.
He was 1.1 miles away from the blast and was thrown off his bike.

This is what shitposting looks like.
Meantime, the Norks are trying to make nuclear weapons that would be in the yield range of the weapons the US and USSR had back when Duck and Cover was relevant.
>OMG DUCK AND COVER IS RELEVANT AGAIN?!?
^ things shitposters can never see or understand.
