The country is beginning to open up again after the Great Wuhan Cootie Lockdown of 2020. It’s different state by state and while California and a handful of other states are maintaining their indefinite stay-at-home orders most states are taking a measured, toe-in-the-water approach such as Colorado’s new phase called “Safer at Home.” In state’s that have announced they are beginning to lift the bans it is still far from business as usual. Retail businesses might be allowed to do curbside pickup, bars and restaurants might be allowed to open – at 25% capacity. Businesses such as salons, dog groomers, personal trainers and elective medical services will be allowed to open – with stringent requirements and restrictions.
I was able to score an appointment with my stylist for next week, here are the instructions she was required to forward to her clients:
“If you arrive before my last client has left, you must wait in your car until I’ve sanitized the chair and invite you in. The lobby is not available for waiting.
Masks are required, please.
I can only do cash, check or venmo. My credit card service is on my phone and for the time being I am not allowed to have clients touching it.”
It’s a step in the right direction, albeit a baby step. Let’s hope that this revolutionary approach to regaining a normal life works better for us than it did for Bob.
If your state, or in my case, your COUNTY – Utah proper does not have a shutdown but we do - remains closed for business this weekend and you’re looking for a good Saturday night movie you could do much worse than watching “What About Bob” again.
