los angeles mayor eric garcetti issued a statement telling citizens, "cancel those vacation plans right for thanksgiving." i'm going to go ahead and say that second thing is just good advice under any circumstances. there's a reason you don't hear this around the holiday table: "oh, my turn? i guess i'm thankful that you left the basement door unlocked." thankfully, there's advice from people who know stuff. for instance, the c.d.c. is suggesting americans have thanksgiving outside. okay, late november, could get little nippy. so instead of a turkey, i recommend serving each guest two cornish game hens, one for each hand. now, once you are outside, the c.d.c. has plenty of additional safety recommendations such as "use disposable items, like utensils." i'm sorry, why? do other people share their silverware at thanksgiving? "nana, could you pass the peas? also, your fork? these carrots just aren't the same without the sweet zing of fixodent." ( laughter ) i don't understand that at all. i don't. c.d.c. also recommends, bring your own food. so just tell your aunt that you can't have any o

what would help you, from governor gavin newsom or mayor garcetti right now? what would ease the burden a little bit? >> obviously being able to cater to our clientele in our restaurant. even outdoors would be huge. i would not have to lay off the few employees that i still have left working for me. and i would not have to think about the idea of having to close my business. i think even on a greater scale, what we need is a full on restaurant bailout. not a bailout a restaurant stimulus fund. and there is one called the restaurant act that is already been introduced to the heroes act. it is just waiting for the senate to act. that would really make a difference in the ability for restaurants throughout the country to survive this. because ppp only got us through a short amount of time. it was a band-aid. this is not an eight week problem, it is an 18 month problem. we need a greater stimulus package to get us to the end. kennedy: yes. until that happens, governor newsom lift the restriction. let people eat outdoors but that is not where they are spreading the

dependent right now, not just on the states and where we've had leaders like governor newsom and mayor garcetti or governor cuomo in new york where they have been very diligent on these things, but those hundreds of millions of dollars are coming down from the states that are just not going to do enough. they've been putting it all out front, we need federal funds and can speak to the cares act issue on this. >> we need cares act to be extended. right now, all funding stops december 31st. that means there's no more funding for this testing site, the testing sites that we have across the country. and that's problematic. without that being as of december 31st, contact tracing goes away, supported quarantine com goes away. we need congress to act fast. >> reporter: your father, fighting world war ii, laid to rest not far from here, in a way, he was at war and you're at your own war. why did you get into this the degree that you did? >> well, you know, i have to say that my father represents most of my aspirations, yet still most unfulfilled but in our family, there was a real emphasis on the value

so the question los angeles mayor garcetti posed this week is intriguing.t to get your take as a former director with the l.a. county department of public health. over the past few months, the fairly strict measures there haven't been relaxed, they've remained constant. so why are the numbers still going up? >> well, thank you, kim, for having me on the show again. and i think it is an interesting question about why do we see this surge occurring when there hasn't been much change, if you will in the guidance provided to individuals or businesses. i think it's a multi factorial. first of all, we have some pandemic fatigue setting in, where people are no longer perhaps wearing masks as vigilantly or keeping physical distance as much as they had been doing. sometimes also letting down their guard of having more people in the house or small parties. i think also, we see the holiday season tempting us. we've had halloween, we seem to have thanksgiving next week. these, i think, could become amplifiers and have been certainly after halloween, where we're having
