Colorado is opening tomorrow too... Still some rules in place, but people will be getting their hair cuts and stuff. (my hair dresser friends are pretty conflicted on this -- yay work, but on the other hand way more contact than is supposed to be safe... also why has the haircut thing become such a big deal anyway? Like, sure, I'm a little uncomfortable because my hair is longer than I've been used to for some years... but it's not hugely so and I get used to it... maybe I'm just don't worry about being so cute usually or whatever) It just seems like we're going to be letting everyone out into public too early. (my nursing and epidemiology friends are all very concerned) I do have a friend in Korea, where things have mostly been going really well and they have few deaths. He says they limited gatherings, but never had a stay at home order. However, they treat everything differently and most people behave in safer ways (masks are readily available, everyone can get tests easily, anyone who seems sick can stay at home for two weeks and not lose pay AND the government delivers food and toiletries to them, etc)... Whereas I don't think a majority of the Colorado folk even behaved well with the stay at home. Like fewer than half the people wore masks at the grocery store, obviously tons of people were just out and about because they wanted to be, etc. Ugh.
