I fear this may be true.

Might be a challenge to cut hair with a mask on. Hopefully the stylist doesn't accidentally cut the elastic that either the wearer has around the ears or the back of the head. Could be one of those "oops" moments.

US has never been on lock down or quarantine... they have been stay at home orders which for the most part is simply begging people to follow. People are still out shopping and walking; hopefully keeping social distances. Many businesses that can do business via curb-side and delivery are doing so....

There are other countries with far more stringent policies in place... here we are whining about a stay at home "recommendation". Its barely been two months... and we had a run on TP and people concerned about their hair-do.

We look like a bunch of pansies on the world stage.

We have 30 million newly unemployed. That is a tragedy of epic proportions.

and the same is no different in other parts of the world. We are already calling it an tragedy of epic proportions even before there is wide spread famine and homelessness...

So if (god forbid) we have a famine, what are you going to call that? what's worse than "Tragedy of Epic proportions"?

That is how intelligent nations react. They do not wait to become Venezuela.
