As much as I would love to get my hair cut, I would hold off.

not an issue where I live. It will be some time before this happens

Stay safe is right. Look for a surge in CoVi19 cases. Ya'll will be guinea pigs, @Laura14 .

A foolhardy decision.

BTW, tattoo and body art places were specifically mentioned as A-OK so get your new tattoo (I am thinking your name and next of kin just in case) and support your local state economy. 👍🏻

I think that is great news. Our economy is tanking and fear mongers are not helping. I hope they follow the same in Colorado.

People can stay at home forever if that is what you want. No one is in control of you but you.

Texas is also doing a slow reopening. Retail stores can open with curbside delivery. State parks will open with social distancing. Small businesses can open if they have the ability for curbside service. No hair salons or inside seating for restaurants yet. Governor will give more info on April 25. Our nursing homes have been hit hard. Community spread hasn't been too bad. For the size of our city, we have too many cases. Additional cases every day. I thought to reopen you had to see a decline in cases over 14 days. I expect to see an uptick in cases for the month of May.

There is no restaurant nor haircut that would make me put my life and the life of my family in jeopardy . Nor would I allow politicians to use me as their experiment.

That's what I said @elated . It's got to end and if you are lucky enough to have the ability to stay in and still pay for your food and shelter, stay home. Those of us that don't want to starve need to go back.

Hairdressers must touch their clients. It's not safe while there is inadequate testing and no vaccine.

And good luck to GA (and any other state) trying to rein people in and shut them back down again if corona virus totals spike after reopening. Not gonna happen, people won't go backwards.

I actually hope this goes well. Someone had to be first and, if all goes surprisingly well here, you guys all have a lot of hope.

Of course, it's dependent on our own common sense and still social distancing and precautions. Hope we do it well and set a good example that it is possible.

Considering that anyone that comes near them is tested daily.

They put in place for themselves the best health insurance money can buy. (We pay for it.)

It's an easy call.

Some people are strictly experiential learners.

Well, I don't plan to go out and about for a while. People can do what they will. I saw those pictures of some beach in Florida, a beautiful beach. And all those people. I think this is a really bad idea.

The governors in each state decide when to open. It will be a while in the NY metro area. I do hope people follow the rules in their communities.

@Porcelain I really cannot tell you how valued I feel by my government right now. I'm kind of insulted I am that expendable. I paid my taxes and everything man. 😂
