CBS News contributor Dr. Selene Gounder introduces the concept of "Frankenflu," where bird flu and human flu strains swap genetic material to create a pandemic virus. The report suggests that the upcoming flu season could be the "danger zone" for this emergence. Critics view this as a "triggering" script designed to justify mail-in ballots and social distancing ahead of the 2024 election.

Dr. Selene Gounder advised travelers to "mask up" in crowded places as hospitalizations rise. The hosts speculated that the return of COVID narratives may be a precursor to reinstating mail-in ballots for the 2024 election. Despite a Royal Society review claiming mandates were "unequivocally effective," skeptics remain concerned that localized lockdowns or "crime lockdowns" could be used for political control.

Dr. Selene Gounder recommends masking in crowded indoor spaces as the "Eris" variant spreads, particularly in the Midwest.
