Moving back to those Holiday Weekend crowds from coast to coast, earlier i spoke with dr. Imran ali. I asked him about the nursing home testing goal that is going to go unmet for many states. We started with those large crowds over the weekend. Dr. Ali, we appreciate you making time for us. We know something as this pandemic develops that we dont see the results in real time as a result of our actions. There is a little bit of a delay. With we know theres been an uptick in gathers for mothers day. People werent throwing huge pool parties for mothers day. With these huge crowds were seeing in places across the country, what kind of fallout can we expect from these memorial day gatherings . Well, trevor, im really worried. Im seeing that some people are beginning to let their guard down. And i know that its the holiday and people want to get out and spend time with friends and family. We have to be careful because we may see new infections on around june 8th if today, on memorial day, we dont really keep, you know, that social distancing. Its really important that we not let our guard down. We know about two weeks ago the white house urged governors to test every single nursing home employee and resident within 14 days. Now almost half the states have failed to meet that goal. They say the cost, the manpower is just too much to get it done. How important do you think it is for nursing home staff and residents to be tested . Is it logistically even possible to get everybody tested . Its just not possible to test that many people, approximately 50,000 or more. Theres not enough manpower, and also, trevor, its a moving target because you see these nurses aids who work in the nursing home. They work at several different facilities. So if they get tested on one day, they may get exposed the second day. We dont have the infrastructure or the manpower to test people every single day. On this week yesterday, dr. Birx said its difficult to tell if theres going to be a second wave of this virus. This first wave has already been so tough for everybody. What scares you the most about this possible second wave . Well, i mean, ive been looking at the studies out there and the projections, and it really is hard to tell if there will be a second wave. With sars and mers, there was no second wave, but this is a different virus because its highly virulent. Now, what really bothers me or worries me is that influenza season will overlap in the fall, especially in restrictions are lightened. We can really learn a lot of good lessons from our friends in australia who right now are in flu season. But, again, trevor, its all about keeping common sense social distancing in place and not just letting our guard down completely because we could see a second wave if were not careful. Still so important to keep our space. Our thanks to dr. Imran ali. Well, coming up, the new suit thats meant to keep you coronavirusfree while at the club. Okay, im listening. Also ahead, put your money where your mouth is. The Golf Tournament bet that cost one nfl player 100,000. So ahead, put your money where your mouth is.

We are back now with not your average foursome out on a florida golf course. Tiger woods and Peyton Manning teamed up against Phil Mickelson and tom brady in a Charity Match and they raised money for coronavirus relief, but, of course, the competitive juices were flowing. Manning showed some trash talk his game is pretty strong. He told brady who he was considering bringing with him to the event. You know, do you bring eli. Could do that. You bring nick foles, maybe. Thats a cheap shot. I was thinking maybe belichick, Bill Belichick caddie for me just to see how that kind of would have worked. So thats a reference to peytons brother eli and nick foles who are the two quarterbacks to beat tom brady in super bowls. Of course bradys former head coach Bill Belichick. And the quarterback who suffered a soulcrushing loss to brady in the super bowl got in a shot. Seattles Russell Wilson trolled brady, tweeting out a parody of the comedy happy gilmore where wilson is heckling the new tampa bay qb. Wilson donated 300,000 meals to the cause. It got a little bit worse for tom brady. He made his own misery during the match. He would hole out from the fairway here, but then he made his own hole right there in his pants. His slacks split at the seams as he went over to take the ball out of the cup and then woods and manning went on to win the match. Well, the return to nightlife may be found in a hazmatinspired protection suit. Its designed for partying security. It includes an n95 filter, snapin canisters for drinking and vaping.
