    why do they call it a "disease" in so many articles? its a virus, we dont say people who get the flu have a disease. and if you get the flu you get sick, if you test positive for covid you may not even get sick, if you dont show any symptoms like many people dont then how is it an"illness" or a "disease"?

    tuff noogies for him

    he broke the shutdown rules, and now he may have not only infected those he gave haircuts to, but to THEIR families as well.

    maybe to set an example, the state ought to take away his license, and close him down permanently.

    christ, my wife needs to see her hair dresser, my sons need haircuts (although they bought shavers, and thier wives cut thier hair and the grand children's hair), but there are literally MILLIONS of people that are small business owners, OBEYING the shut down rules, and this jerkwad defies that?

    screw him.

    That barber will lose everything when the lawsuits begin.
    Everyone that's been in that shop and now has COVID-19 will get a piece of the action.
    Fair or not, that's the way the legal system works.

    A virus can be an illness or a disease according to my dictionary.

    not knowing who is is, and why the "secret"? let it be known who he is, after all some "beauty salons" had been busted, and THEY were ID'd, why spare this jerkwad any privacy?

    no matter what, who, when, or where, his customers will and SHOULD come forward.

    so also, i have to "wonder" if he is young or old (like in semi-retirement, or fully retired) like a former barber of mine was, and just did not like staying home, and still wanted to work.

    either way, he broke the shut down rules, and he should be put out of business forever.

    to fail to do so, then the NEXT outbreak of this virus (this coming fall/winter), THEN NO MORE SHUTDOWNS of any business, or schools....!!!!!!!

    since those "in charge" would make it seem like, "oh well, no big deal in breaking the shut down rules".

    what's the sense then..???
     
    Numb Thanks this.

    which beckons some questions like, "is he a foreigner and doesn't speak English?"

    here in my state for example, the Spanish community is about the largest community that has more infections over the others.

    why? so many are afraid of being caught as illegals, so they are not seeking testing. further, when my goobener makes her daily press conferences, she has a deaf person signing for the deaf, but she does not have a spanish interpreter. the spanish local tv/radio stations carry MUSIC and NOT her daily news briefings...who's being irresponsible for that decision..???

    yeah, everybody some how "knows" about this virus, yet so many others simply still go about thier lives each and every day. BUT, to REMAIN open as what is deemed a "non-essential service", flies into the faces of the pandemic precautionary rules about remaining open, rather than to be closed.

    sure the customers are as responsible, BUT the BUSINESS OWNER lent into the rule breaking first and foremost.
