wake county health permits ordered to comply with covid-19 restrictions or close and still they stayed open. but rodriguez says the restaurant hasn't seen state inspectors at the restaurant in 2 and a half years so we ask hello show why they visited the restaurant now they said the visit was part of a task force created by the governor to stop the spread of covid-19 at whole businesses who endanger public health and safety accountable. cal osha didn't respond when we asked why this was the first visit months into the pandemic the video shows both chp and cal osha leaving no inspection is done

could die in just the next 4 months. this projection comes as many americans now head to beaches lakes and even barbecues for the last long weekend of the summer and experts warn similar holidays earlier in the year show that they can be the perfect storms for spreading coronavirus. >>tom foreman has the story. >>brace yourself for more super spreader event that's the warning from health officials who fear with millions traveling over the labor day holiday the pandemic could spike just as we enter for when the flu and other illnesses may come into play we use labor day as a way to take the day off but unfortunately of the virus doesn't. we don't want to go into that with another surge that we have to turn around again. >>so it really is an important weekend. >>infection shot up in some places after memorial day and the 4th of july to despite warnings against big social gatherings. like that motorcycle rally in south dakota, which produced dozens of cases private parties in many places and numerous family events like the wedding reception earlier this year that left a new jersey woman and 3 of her children dead for all that president trump keeps mocking joe biden for wearing a mask did you ever see a man that likes a mask as much as still health experts say imagine an outdoor barbecue, the medical journal bmj created this chart showing if you attend an event like that for a short time with a mask, your risk could be relatively low depending on whether people are silent talking or shouting and singing. stay longer it gets worse take off your mask a while we're still and without a mask for a long time the risk explodes especially if the party moves indoors. >>so images like these are raising alarm bells hundreds of students at iowa state seemingly ignoring safety precautions. >>are you guys concerned about coronavirus all enough. i personally think it's a hoax really i don't think it's a hoax but i think that. >>and they think if i were to get it. i

them home during their parents doesn't make sense. >>that was tom foreman reporting for us tonight, meanwhile, a new study suggesting that people recovering from covid-19 wait several months before exercising again. a study of 100 adults found nearly 80 had structural changes to their hearts. 6 in 10 were found have inflammation to the heart muscle which can be fatal and factoring in exercise which can add stress to the heart. now this many doctors concerned the study's author recommends anyone who has recovered from covid-19 symptoms to undergo a cardiac mri. so potential information can be found and it's advised to wait at least 6 months from symptoms recovery before getting back into a rigorous exercise routine. anderson meanwhile, the world health organization says at least 25 potential coronavirus vaccines. >>are currently undergoing human trials worldwide of those 5 are in phase 3. the most advanced stage of testing before a vaccine can reach the public. no serious side effects have been observed with the coronavirus vaccines up to this point in phase 3. one problem that has surfaced though companies haven't been able to recruit enough members of minority communities who have been hit especially hard by the virus. the white house has suggested the vaccine could be ready for the public in the next 2 months health experts say that's unlikely but not impossible. >>democratic vice presidential nominee kamala harris says she would not trust a covid-19 vaccine based on president trump's word alone. these comments came in part of a cnn interview that was just released today. senator harris is concerned that the trump administration is putting pressure on the fda to rush the vaccine process. do you trust that in the situation where we're in now that the public health experts and scientists will get the last word. >>on the efficacy of the vaccine if past is pro law that they will not they'll be muscled they'll be suppressed. they will be sidelined because he's looking at election coming up in less than 60 days. and he's grasping for whatever he can get to pretend that he's been a leader on this issue and is not so let's just say there's a vaccine that is approved and even distributed before the election. would you get. i think that's going to be an issue for all of i will say that i would not trust donald trump. and it would have to be a credible source of information that talks about the the efficacy and the and the reliability of whatever he's talking about i will not take his word for it he wants us to enjoy. health experts say it's credit call the fda does not rush the approval process. >>to the point that the american public loses its trust. instead researchers he'd approve any vaccine work safely and effectively so the public. we'll be willing to take it. >>this year's flu season is almost here and health experts fear that the covid-19 pandemic combined with the flu season could overwhelm american hospitals so there are no urging everyone to get a flu shot kron 4 washington correspondent trevor shirley reports that while there is an enormous supply of flu vaccine available. the challenge is convincing folks to actually get the shot. >>the cdc says the u.s. will have around 200 million doses of flu vaccine available this year. now health officials have to convince as many people as possible to get a flu shot is certainly safe. and it's pretty effective doctor georges benjamin is the executive director of the american public health association, he says usually only about 40 to 45% of americans get a flu shot and if we get that into the 70% range. >>that would do a whole lot just this week parents in massachusetts protested against mandatory flu shots for students. it's one example of the challenges health officials face this year. >>as they combat the flu and covid-19 so happy really 2 big epidemic ce. >>that have similar symptoms as well as way would tax the whole system would be a real problem and to avoid that worst case scenario. doctors are pleading with everyone who can to get a flu shot is a big national effort to educate people about getting the influenza shot. >>tv and internet ads
