Went to Sport Clips in WB the other day. While I was happy with getting a hair cut, I think they could do a better job with their COVID protocols. On the plus side they have online check-in, staff and customers use masks, you wait outside until called in, don't accept cash, and only use half the barber chairs. Things that could be improved: no one asked me any screening questions for COVID before entering, no one checked my temperature (this one is useless but still shows they are trying), no one asked me to clean my hands at the entrance, stylists didn't make a point of cleaning her hands in front of me before starting or after finishing or before touching cash register, no gloves, no barriers between other barber chairs (though ~6 ft apart), and using a credit card still requires me to touch their iPad twice and credit card machine once.
The CDC said contaminated surfaces are not the primary mode of transmission, that it is low risk. That isn?t going to help people to disinfect things.
I?ve noticed as things open up Costco, Target, grocery stores are all less stringent with their disinfection processes.
Everything related to covid isn?t really sustainable. How long did we think stores would stay on top of it? Their employees are human, everyone gets fatigued mentally over this stuff. At some point it probably just becomes easier to go for the herd immunity approach which is in some respects what we are doing now with everything opening up.
But according to IHO, 40 million unemployed people was worth saving lives. At the end of the day a death is a death. IHO is going to hit me with an ?I don?t get it? - but people die every day for one reason or another. Now we just add covid to that list.
