A stylist that touches a client's hair, neck and face, along with washing said client's hair in a sink shared by dozens of other clients, could be liable if any of those clients contract COVID-19. That puts an enormous amount of pressure, not only on the stylist but on the owner as well, to make certain that all work stations have been sanitized properly, which is nearly impossible to verify.
Plus, there's absolutely no way to cut someone's hair while following strict Social Distancing guidelines, which opens up the stylist and owner to potential lawsuits. Quote:
As for liquor stores, customers have other options in most cities such as deliveries, which minimize contact and if said liqour store doesn't have a barrier between their potential customers, one can easily be installed, limiting contact. |

I agree with both of you. It is going to be tough to "open up" back to pre-Covid19 because business owners don't want to get sick or get their employees\clients sick. But low wage earners really won't have a choice because most if not all of them live paycheck to paycheck and that $1200 measly check isn't going to help much. |

So what are these business owners supposed to do? File bankruptcy?

People start losing everything they've worked their whole lives building and then the substance abuse, domestic abuse, suicide talk comes in.

They could be liable if their employees got infected or one of their clients. You already are seeing lawsuits coming out in regards to instances like this. I saw the other day a nurse's union has sued several hospitals and I know alot more are coming. There are OSHA regulations you have to follow for infectious diseases like wearing PPE. |

If I go to the salon and get a haircut, contract the flu and die because I also have some underlying health condition, my family could sue the Salon? |

Married people earning $100K+ working from the comfort of their homes and single people earning $50k+ from the comfort of their apartments are not clamoring for things to "open back up" (although I know a few parents with younger children that would like to see the schools open but that's a different subject altogether). |

So as with everything else in life it comes down to the risks you're willing to take. As a business owner are you willing to fully open up as much as you are allowed? As a customer are you willing to go to a place that opened up fully? Obviously there is no one right answer but there is still a tendency to play down the economic impact this is and is going to continue having. |
