Summary
CDC has designated a Level 3 response for the Hantavirus outbreak, after members on a cruise were first exposed. Dr. Celine Gounder notes what this means and how it differs from COVID. Virginia's State Supreme Court struck down the proposed congressional map in a 4-3 vote. This comes after voters in the state approved of a referendum that would've given Democrats four more seats. CBS News Election Law Contributor David Becker discusses the implications for the redistricting effort. Plus, the Pentagon releases UAP (unidentified aerial phenomena) files to the public, leaving them open to interpretation. Former Navy Pilot Alex Dietrich, who has her own experience with seeing a UFO, reacts to the latest. All that and more on The Takeout!
