Illegal fireworks going off all day long, even late at night. The problem is so bad cities in new york, new jersey, massachusetts and california are forming task forces to crack down on suppliers. 6,000 in fireworks were seized in new york tuesday.

We return now to the coronavirus and dr. Anthony fauci warning about a disturbing surge of infections. Earlier i spoke with dr. Laleh gharahbaghian and asked her about the new guidance regarding nail salons. Texas and california just broke single day records for the rise in cases and some hospitals in parts of arizona, florida and Washington State say theyre overwhelmed. What is your assessment of where we are in fighting this virus and what are we doing wrong . Shelter in place helped. Guidelines for diagnosing and testing and that increased Testing Capacity has helped. The research that is under way for treatment is helping, but we still must protect each other. What were doing wrong, i think, there is a multitude of Different Things that everyone is trying to mitigate. First of all, as a people of this country, we cant go out when were sick. We must wear a mask. We must keep physical distancing. We must wash hands, not touch our face, and we have to really be diligent at that. If theres any group of us that dont do that, then all of us are at risk. Dr. Fauci says our actions in the next couple of weeks will be critical. Whats your take on what lies ahead of us and what needs to be done . Well, were already seeing what lies ahead as shelter in place has been lifted in many parts if not all of the country i think now. Were seeing an increase in covid cases. President trumps coronavirus testing czar admits we have a long way to go and when it comes to Contact Tracing to track who has the virus and whos been exposed, the cdc says the u. S. Has only 128,000 contact tracers but we need about 100,000. Where do you think we are on testing right now and on Contact Tracing . Well, weve come a long way since the beginning but were nowhere near where we need to be as a country, and what i think its important for people to understand is that with appropriate testing and Testing Capacity, with appropriate Contact Tracing and guidelines in place and adherence to those guidelines, we could avoid a huge hit of covid. Theres new guidance out from the cdc aimed at protecting nail salon workers and suggest they stay six feet away from clients which is obviously a challenge. Would you go to a nail salon or similar business right now . No, i would not and i havent and theres a long list on the cdc website for nail salon employees and employers for ways of mitigating and lowering the risk of spreading transmission. But i just dont think we there yet as a country. Our thanks to dr. Gharahbaghian. And coming up, what we never knew about men would like cats. But first its being called the shift to thrift.
