wonder if TC regrets his action upon going to get his haircut that day knowing that barber or hair cutter is infected.
though i hope you don't get exposed. 2 week lost paycheck. takes a month to get it going again.

Video game message board shitting on someone for proper hygiene isn't unusual. Topic would likely unfold as is even without COVID imo

Anyone here also not shower for a week at time? I assume at least someone reading this does that.

From what I read back in March or April, both Apple and Google added contact tracing functionality to iOS and Android, but you still need a 3rd party app to make it work. When I checked back then, Texas didn't have a contact tracing app so I just disregarded it.

I had mine on in the lobby, and took it off to get my haircut.

His was on, but half-assed.

While I was in the chair for my haircut, he told the couple people waiting that they could unmask if they wanted. So I probably got it.

Ive gone to see him once every couple months, since theyve reopened.

For every visit until this one, he hasnt accepted any walk ins, and can only come in 5 mins before your appt. so there shouldnt be anywhere in there except you.

So it was as safe as you could get, without abstaining completely.

Not 100% but they're pretty damn effective of stopping people with covid from spreading it tbh

Hell there was a huge story during the middle of the summer about it, how some salon worker had covid, worked with 100+ people and none of them got sick since she was wearing a mask.

Based on the phone call I got, I have a feeling it was a customer in the lobby.

The nurse mentioned a specific time window, and if I wasnt there during that 15 minutes, not to worry.

I used to go to one, well I guess it was kinda mixed with everyone.

But yeah, had that fun atmosphere. The banter was cool, but I shouldnt be waiting 1-2 hours for a haircut lol.

It's the assholes and anti-maskers and "it's all a hoax"ers that are spreading it all over the place.

If your insurance pays for it, get the test.
If your insurance doesn't pay for it, still suggest you get the COVID19 test.

Be safe.

There is no reason anybody should be going to the barber during a pandemic. Honestly, all you need are a pair of clippers and you could cut your own hair and avoid the exposure.

That's horseshit man.

Some of us have jobs/careers where we need to look the part and interact with people. In my line of work, no one is handing me a credit card for $4,000 for a sale if I go to work looking like a bum.
