I think in some cases - social distancing is impossible. The Salon/ Barber business is a good example. But when I got my haircut, Purell was used to clean hands for both my barber and myself.
How are diners ever going to reopen if everyone is required to wear masks? The Restaurant and Pub businesses are screwed. Social Distancing will not provide enough income for these businesses to survive.
The social distancing is a great idea...but once you enter a store that all goes away. When you step up to pay. There is not 6 feet anymore. And then you exchange money. So as far at the social distancing stuff. Does not work at a store.

It was not selfish. The people that came to see her made their own decisions. She need the money to provide for her family. Same as the judge. That showed up for work. I guess he is selfish also then.
These are generally the same people who holler " all they had to do is listen to the police and not resist!" when an unarmed person is shot by an officer.
The people that attended Covid parties in my state also made their own decisions.
On average they then had contact with twenty-five people afterwards. Twenty five people exposed to the virus, who then have contact with twenty-five people each, who they then had contact with...
And then people who didn't decide to defy laws get sick and die, and as the numbers rise, we all have to start isolation measures from scratch.
Definitely selfish, but also ignorant.
Why was ok for the judge and everyone else in the courtroom to go to work. Why was it ok to make her show up in a court room?
Are you sure they all went to court. The Supreme Court was in session but not open.
Enforcing laws is more essential than getting a hair cut imho.

In Texas Judge tried to make a salon admit that she was selfish for opening her hair salon. She said would not because trying to feed her children is not selfish. Crazy Judge sentenced her to jail for 7 days and fined her $7,000. A lot of folks are mad - Selfishness is not a crime -
Video of Judge and Salon owner verbal exchange is included in article.

No, but assault with a deadly weapon is. Not exactly equating the two but they should test her and if she is positive for the virus she is putting others at risk and there should be accountability.

And if she's negative??? I'm sure she's been tested, especially in prison even though isolated

Order the food online, and get it delivered. Works great here. I haven't been shopping even once, since the pandemic broke loose.
Remember to clean the goods with lots of soap, and to wash your hands.
No need to go to the store, if you're worried about catching the virus or in the high-risk group.

For two months now, all our grocery stores have had these one meter lines, lining up people 1m i.e. 3ft apart. Also we have plexiglass between the cash register person and us, also other places in the stores.

Then treat her like anyone else who broke similar laws

Where is this money coming from?
Basically, the state (the Central bank) is printing more money.
Is it free money, never to be repaid?
Yes, often so. Not always though. Sometimes the state wants shares of companies. And sometimes it's loans (with favorable conditions).

In my neck of the woods (NY) the # are spiking with the non essential workers who are supposed to be staying home . On the news last night it reported that essential workers ( like me ) are not spiking in transmissions , it's the ones that are home and supposed to be staying safe . Can you believe that ? It's like party time for them or something . Then our most vulnerable part of our population our seniors in Nursing homes are being infected and dying at high #, due to empty beds being used in Nursing homes to care for those infected . A close friend of mine whose mother is in one of these Nursing homes is frightened like you would not believe for his Mom and Families are not allowed to Visit and he can only talk to her on the phone . Her Family is very terrified for her health and well being .

I would love to be called a redneck or a hillbilly or a nerd or whatever, just to take the load and the stigma off the name calling. I think it is stupid to put labels on people, especially if it is done in in a negative way.
Anyway, who are we to talk about hillbillies? Many of us are in the 60's or even 70's, and we go to more than one show with a band in their 70's. Nerd? Sure I am. I don't really care. I just love the Stones.
We are all different in our own way. But we all love the Stones. That's what brought us here.
If we were at a Stones concert together and not on this board we would not care who voted for who or where someone lived.
We would just be all smiles sharing a great time together!

My dad had a stroke in January and is now in one of these facilities (though not NY). The stroke has impaired his speech (so we can't even call him), his right arm (and he's right handed), and he can no longer walk. It scares the hell out of me. We did arrange a Skype call so he knows we didn't abandon him, and have another scheduled this weekend.
He was taking care of my mom who we now know (and already suspected) is in early Alzheimers, which we were close to getting her into assisted living in the same community my dad is in, and that fell through when the virus hit, which I guess is good and bad but we're all taking care of her and some of us aren't able to work from home.
It's really been a sh!tty year for my family.

My wife asked me this morning:
"Why don't you just close down IORR, or leave it to others?"
It takes so much time. I should have closed the whole thing down, may be. I was just out for a short while now, and arriving back to the PC there is a bunch of Trump posts, even if I said many many times there is no room for Trump or Biden or any other politics talks here.
Mine was a joke actually but never mind.Quote

The US internal debate has taken over this thread now. Which makes it a bit harder for a non-US citizen (like I) to navigate in. Where did all the Europeans go?
