I canceled my hair appointment early this week for today because we are self quarantining due to age. my hair person laughed on the phone that i was panicking. she is in her 60s, too. I told her i would pay her for the next two appointments and will not be coming into the shop anytime soon. I'm not panicking, however. i'm following the recommended protocol.
I called an online pet meds business to renew my elderly pets' medications. my vet declined the med renewals when they called to confirm, a med for my 14 year old who can't walk without anti-inflammatory carprofen and fluoxetine anti-depressant for my crazy 9 year old dog who walks in circles for hours without this medication. he told me i must come in and have them examined before he will renew them even though i explained we are self-quarantined. my poor pets will do without their meds.
some people aren't taking this chinese virus risk seriously and it makes me very sad.

Where I live vets are only seeing animals for emergencies. They will refill prescriptions without bringing animals in for now. All hair salons have been ordered to close.
Young people don’t need to worry as much about serious complications. Older people are at higher risk of serious complications, hence it makes sense for them to take this even more seriously and take measures to protect themselves rather then just relying on young people to bear the brunt in terms of job losses, etc to keep them safe.
Not true! Geesh, get updated once in a while, will you please, before spreading this misinformation?

I am updated and speaking the truth. Young people don’t need to worry as much about serious complications as older people. Risk goes up with age. That’s a fact.
The 34 year old from Pasadena that died of Covid-19. Flew to Orlando in early March for work conference. Went to Disney World and Universal Studios. Began coughing, then coughing blood, while still in Florida. 2 days later flew from Orlando to LAX and then immediately went to emergency room from LAX. Wonder how many people at the airports, or people on that flight, caught the virus from him.

All touch based businesses are ordered closed here in WA. People are worried about their hair, nails, etc. Asking if they can do 1:1 sessions at home. But the providers are saying the boards would take their license and issue a large fine if they do so.

So it's getting pretty shaggy out there.
i could care less about my hair! in fact, if this quarantine lasts longer than three months it will be a good time to go gray and stop all hair color appointments forever. i do feel very sorry for these professional hair people. their livelihoods are being taken away through no fault of their own.
I am very worried about my pets' medications, however. they each have three weeks of meds left. this vet has seen both numerous times and his unwillingness to renew their medications during this crisis while we are in quarantine is unreasonable and cruel.

Not one bit. Weak immune systems are the problem. scaring everyone home is creating panic, fear, hoarding and shortages.
If your immune system is compromised stay home. The world cant shut down for you.
Please return when you are more informed. And I assure you the world is not shutting down for ME. What an offensive thing to post.
