What your suggesting would lead to a massive amount of liability that would most definitely kill smaller businesses forever and lead to a large amount of pain, anguish and suffering. You're not ranting, you're uninformed, selfish and naive. |

I think small business can open up to what is allowed but not full open. They are going to have to take precautions like seating spaced out, masks\PPE, only so many people in a certain space. Sort of like what Costco\Walmart is doing now. |

Assuming the haircut establishment is following all of the safety protocols that will likely be put in place (i.e. masks worn by the barbers/stylists and customers, gloves worn by all staff, thorough cleaning measures for equipment/chairs, etc.) I think it would be an inherent risk customers would assume by getting a haircut (potential risk of COVID-19 exposure) which would limit liability.

Right, but you can't cut someone's hair without violating Social Distancing orders so really, this conversation is moot until those orders are relaxed or removed.

As in that person felt like shit and had a fever for multiple days or in three weeks it's discovered half a dozen cases were found to all be in contact with one person who felt as fit as a fiddle who went about his normal life one day?

How can you cut someone's hair if the city and/or state require people to be 6 feet apart? You're making an issue out of something that at this point in time, isn't even possible and if you break those orders, the owner/stylist is most definitely liable. |

I guess my point is that, in some areas (including Colorado), they're being relaxed shortly (as soon as next week). If they state tells you that you can do a thing, you can't reasonably sue someone who does that thing.

If I was a small business owner I would be more concerned about employee lawsuits than the above scenario just as long as I take the necessary precautions like wearing masks etc Then again most small business employees probably couldn't afford a lawyer anyway but they could report you to OSHA if they were smart enough. |

Correct me if I am wrong but I was under the impression that "social distancing" is not necessarily a law.

For sure, although that probably wouldn't stop someone from a lawsuit if reopening led to a death or deaths
