- The first character mentions that there's a major outbreak of cooties in Elbonia, implying that the COVID-19 pandemic is widespread.
- The second character responds by saying they don't think cooties are a real thing, suggesting that they are skeptical about the existence of COVID-19.
- An expert then chimes in, stating that one of the symptoms of cooties is "denying science," implying that the second character's skepticism is a symptom of the pandemic.
