While COVID-19 continues to surge unchecked across the country, influenza cases this season have remained low - so far.

Guests:
- Dean Winslow, infectious disease specialist, Stanford Health Care
- Caroline Fleck, psychologist
- Liz Weinandy, registered dietitian, Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center
