My state started Phase 1 yesterday. Prior to that, no non essential travel.

- Start date
On a side note that used to drive me nuts in elementary school because my parents taught me “base ten” when I was growing up so most of it I could just do in my head.
Most of my restaurant buds aren’t even going to start dine in service for a few months even though they’re able to. But then I tend not to eat at a lot of diner-style places where there’s just Flo and a cook.

There will be an abundance of caution for several months. No one wants to be the place that opened up and killed people. I think we will see a second wave though personally. What that means for the airlines is anyone’s guess at this point.

What part of town are you in? I'm in Layton and had no problems scheduling an appointment for a haircut. I was in and out in 30 mins. Does your barber do walk-ins or appointments? If only walk-ins, then yeah good luck.
It was a 2-3 hr. wait at the black barbershop on Temple St. on Friday/Saturday waaaay before the pandemic that only did walk-ins. With them stopping cutting hair, talking, politics, laughing. Debating who was the best rapper ever Tupac or Biggie. Or who is best basketball player of all times, Jordan or Lebron. Engaging in conspiracy theories. Taking cigarette breaks, lunch. Arguing, dancing. Talking on the phone to their wives/girlfriends. OMG, the list goes on.

That is a right of passage for any black male. The barbershop is more of a social event but also a place to get a fresh look. There are people I know who go to the barbershop and don’t even get a cut.

Second wave? Nationally we’re not done with the first wave. And with how many people think that it’s all a conspiracy or that wearing masks and staying 6’ away from each other in Walmart is a direct assault on the constitution, it’s not going to get any better.

Just landed in DFW. B concourse was actually pretty busy. Not sure if they have other ones closed or something.

please get out of here with good news of passengers starting to fly again, it ruins the thousands furloughed narrative.

No offense, but everything said or forecasted by the doomsayers has been wrong or severely less than stated.

Well, there is/was the whole social distancing and lock down thing. So there's that.

I live in sugar house, which is just south of downtown a bit. I went on a walk yesterday though and saw signs of opening at my old haircut place for tomorrow.

I understand I’m Monday morning QB’ing. There should have been a shelter in place of old/compromised individuals. Other than that, we should have passed it around. I had it. It was a flu.

Apples and oranges if I've ever seen it. Not to mention Sweden has a far higher death rate than their Nordic neighbors.

Here so I don’t get fined
Oh look, survivorship bias. Lockdowns/social distancing aside, I don't know why it's so hard to listen to actual doctors that say it's NOT the same danger as the flu.

I really wonder if we had just not dicked around so badly a couple months ago if we could have just had most of this knocked out in a couple weeks instead of dragging it out and keeping stuff half closed/half open for longer and getting the worst of both the virus and locking everything down.
