My husband's going to lop off a couple of inches of my hair tonight; I wasn't able to get to my regular stylist when I needed to, and then the lockdown occurred. When I go to drop off our tax paperwork tomorrow, I'll likely stop by the store for some hair dye when I'm out (I've had it dyed twice), my husband is adamant we have a little fun.
We're now in with recommendations to wear masks when out, part of the "we all assume we have it now". We have a set of the "not even lip service" masks that came with the resin printer that I'll be using one for the trip tomorrow, and I'll be going through the fabric stash and see if I can make a couple. And picking up some MERV-13 filters for inserts for them.
Denver chained up the doors of a local business that insisted they were an essential business while Denver was saying they weren't - an appliance store. Everyone else has finally closed when asked. I'm suspecting that business won't be reopening once this is all over, at least not without a thorough review of their business versus the license they were issued. Businesses that are still open are starting to get (understandable) flack for selling non-essential merchandise. Summit County does have an order in place limiting sales to food, medicine, and other immediate essentials.
Our hospitals are setting up outdoor triage tents and other setups in anticipation of the surge in patients - the idea being that, if they're ready and it doesn't hit that hard, it's not a big deal, but it would be a big deal if they don't prep and it hits even harder than expected.
I'm starting to wonder about the "14 days" period on the virus, given the way it's been working. It's actually possible that it either has a much longer infection period, or that way more don't show symptoms at all. Although we also have the problematic culture of "you work even when you're sick". Hopefully this is the first point that it shows that this is not only a bad idea, and has always been a bad idea, it's now a phenomenally bad idea. But we also need National Sick Leave mandated for all businesses, regardless.
