So many people in denial. Or just saying "Fuck it," it seems.

That mask the barber is wearing can't save you if the barber has the bug and is all over you for the twenty minutes it takes to cut your hair.

Nobody should go to a barber shop unless everyone working there has tested negative at the beginning of that same day and is wearing a mask, per Dr. Irwin Redlener right now on MSNBC, who says he would halt all reopenings until necessary testing is made feasible.

And yet nobody is doing or can do that now.

Redlener characterized the ongoing reopening of America as too fast, too chaotic, and a great mistake that will certainly cost many unnecessarily lost lives.

Second stylist at same Missouri hair salon tests positive, nearly 140 exposed to coronavirus

140 clients at a hair salon in Missouri have now potentially been exposed to COVID-19 after a second hairstylist at the location tested positive for the coronavirus.

On Friday, the city of Springfield said 91 people had been exposed to the coronavirus after a stylist worked for eight days while showing symptoms. Among the 91 were 84 clients and seven employees.

Now, 56 more clients have been “potentially directly exposed,” the city said Saturday, explaining that the second stylist at the Great Clips salon tested positive and worked five days while “experiencing very mild symptoms.”

“At this time, this is the only other positive result we have had from those tested as a result of the previous exposure,” the city said.

Both the stylists and their clients were wearing face coverings, and the health department said it was reaching out to all those possibly exposed. 

Hair salons are allowed to operate in Missouri under their reopening guidelines, and the city previously said those possibly exposed at the salon would be offered tests.

Dr. Birx just now on the tube was emphatic that social distancing ought to be maintained and if not then masks must be worn to minimize new infections.

Parents are sending their kids to summer camps.

These people are just nuts.

I'm pretty sure we're going to fuck this up pretty badly and no matter how necessary it is to reverse rollbacks it just won't be politically possible.

Americans are just that stupid that more of them are wedded to a political party committed to maximizing stupidity than to the opposing party.

Consider this national cluster-fuck and then ask yourself how it would all go if the next crazy virus were as contagious as this one but as deadly as Ebola.

Ebola kills half those it infects.
