T-minus 5 days until 27's symptoms set in. Be strong.

I don't understand the logic of NOT allowing it, honestly.
I mean even if a person were to hypothetically drink the beverage on their way home... which is worse?
Drinking while driving home, or getting smashed at the restaurant/bar for a few hours, and then driving home already smashed?

Wonder if these people still think it's a hoax when they come down with the virus?

I don't see how it could be done any safer.

Pretty sure people are contagious before any symptoms appear.

Too much risk for a haircut iyam.

I really hope my country Thailand is telling the truth about their numbers.
I wouldn't think twice about going to the barber tomorrow with no mask.
It's a nothingburger here.
Feel sorry for you guys that have to worry about this stuff.

Yeah, for maybe a week to ten days. That's kind of how it gets about so much.

For me its more about who's touching you and breathing on you for these 30 minutes. In this case it's a mfer touching and being breathed on by the masses all day, every day. HARD PASS! Masks help, not a force field.

Limited out door drinking and socializing, **** it! I'm going crazy and have to do something

Ask some chick to cut your hair. Let nature run its course. Win win!

Oh I wasn't implying that-- it could well be that Howard can get laid no matter what his hair looks like. I need every advantage I can get though!

Did the dentist last week (delayed procedure from Feb), and the beardsmith/barber this week (way over-due). Both were great. Safety measures at both places. Wouldn't hesitate to go back to either (dentist next week again, oh boy!)

Don't think I'll sit at a poker table or go to a concert (two of my favorite things) anytime soon, though. Not worth the risk.

I love and miss my barber and barbershop but I decided I’m going to grow my hair out until I’m like the brother on Ozarks.

"You want me to massage here?" as her hand glides gently across the towel?

False, but I don't care enough to argue about it.

Happy Friday, all! Stay well.

You can only die once.

Do a little research on excess deaths or excess mortality. These numbers are not surprising.

whatthejish,

Sincere thanks for the feedback. I understand preventative >>>>>>> reactionary. When the time comes for me to self-insure, I will look into the cost of dental coverage.

The activity I'm reluctant to start again is taking long airplane flights. I'm normally someone who does a lot of travel, but catching an ordinary cold on a long flight is a fairly common event. I'm not sure when I'll next fly.
