Hair Salons And Other Businesses Reopen In Switzerland

GENEVA — Businesses like hair salons, tattoo parlors, veterinarians’ offices and garden shops are reopening up across Switzerland.

Looking at the statistics for Switzerland, I’m wondering if this might be premature but I haven’t been following the progress of COVID-19 there. Nonetheless, I feel pretty sure that they’re efforts to re-open their economy are substantially different and more stringent than anything we might see from Mr. Kemp or Mr. DeSantis.

Barbers? We don’t need no stinking barbers.
I haz discovered the flame cut.
Wash your hair. When dry, rub it with a towel until it sticks up all over.
Spray it with hairspray. Then quickly light a match. When it burns to the desired length, quickly dunk your head in a bucket of water.
Or you can just use a propane torch and a metal comb if you just want certain areas trimmed. No hairspray needed.
You’re welcome.

I thought I saw that they had a very high rate of the virus in their population per capita as well. This is such a dumb move by the leaders of that country imo. How the hell do you stand 6 feet away from another person in order to cut their hair, do someone’s nails or give tattoos? And tattoos?? Really? Its just so ridiculous and if that’s an essential service I think we need to really look at what defines an essential service all over again, 'cause that ain’t it.

She had to close them down to make them safe for her.
