TWO HAIRDRESSERS AT A GREAT CLIPS IN SPRINGFIELD HAVE TESTED POSITIVE OFFICIALS. There SAY ONE OF THE STYLISTS WORKED FOR EIGHT DAYS WHILE SHOWING SYMPTOMS. The OTHER STYLIST WORKED FOR FIVE DAYS WHILE EXPERIENCING QUOTE VERY MILD. Symptoms. MISSOURI, HAIR SALONS WERE ALLOWED TO OPEN ON MAY 4th AS PART OF REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR MIKE PARSON’S SHOW ME STRONG RECOVERY PLAN, AND MANY OF THEM REMAIN OPEN, AS THE STATE HAS MORE THAN OPEN. As THE STATE HAS MORE THAN 12,000 CASES AND NEARLY 700 FAY TA, IT WILL FATALITIES. I WANT TO READ WHAT A SPOKESPERSON FOR THE SALON SAID IN A STATEMENT QUOTE. Both STYLISTS ARE FOLLOWING MEDICAL ADVICE AND TAKING APPROPRIATE ACTIONS AND THE LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT NOTIFIED INDIVIDUALS WHO CAME IN CLOSE CONTACT WITH THOSE STYLISTS. The FRANCHISE OWNERS HAVE CLOSED THE SALON TO UNDERGO ADDITIONAL SANITIZING AND DEEP CLEANING CONSISTENT WITH GUIDANCE FROM HEALTH OFFICIALS. I KNOW YOU HAVE BEEN TALKING TO CUSTOMERS.. What ARE THEY TELLING YOU > > YEAH, THE CUSTOMER I SPOKE WITH, WENT TO THE GREAT CLIPS ON MAY 17th. About A WEEK LATER, THE LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT TOLD HIM HE HAD COME IN CONTACT WITH SOMEONE WHO HAD THE CORONAVIRUS. ERIC CHASE.

He SAYS ALL OF THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED. > > NOW I’M SOMEONE DIRECTLY AFFECTED BY COVID AND I NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD BE SO CLOSE TO HOME ALL OF THIS BECAUSE SOMEONE WASN’T RESPONSIBLE THEY SHOULD HAVE STAYED HOME. I ALSO THINK THAT THE EMPLOYER HAD A GREAT RESPONSIBILITY THAT, IF ONE OF THEIR EMPLOYEES, WASN’T FEELING WELL ESPECIALLY WITH THIS PANDEMIC, SHOULD HAVE SENT THEIR EMPLOYEE HOME. > >. Now, OVER THE LAST FOUR DAYS, MISSOURI HAS SEEN AN AVERAGE OF 200 NEW CASES EVERY DAY.. Just TODAY ALONE, THE STATE HAS REPORTED NEARLY 180 NEW CASES. NOW HERE IN THE SPRINGFIELD GREENE COUNTY AREA, WE’VE SEEN
Comments
Jimmi B: This is what happens when people express their god given right to be stupid!
Dee Davis: I'm a hairstylist of 20+ years and have taken this to be my sign to retire. I cant trust people to not show up with a cold let alone corona. Salon owners pressure us to work sick by not giving us sick time or an hourly wage. Straight commision encourages working sick. Clients will tell you that little johnny was too sick for school so they decided to get his haircut while "he's off from school." This situation is not surprising. Your roots aren't worth my life. Sorry not sorry.
Serena Serena: And yet governors who tried to protect citizens from these types of issues were criticized.
Lisa Greene: You want to blame the stylists, but you went out for the haircut.
Stephen D: "All of this could have been avoided" says the guy getting his haircut even after noticing staff not abiding by the rules... some people are just ridiculous. Take responsibility for yourself you donut
EllVTV: "They should have stayed home," says the guy who should have stayed home. Oh the irony!
soiledhalo: Is he solely blaming the stylist? You were foolish to take such a chance.
m t: Imagine wanting a Great Clips haircut so badly that you're willing to die for it.
Davin Sturdivant: I like how the guy interviewed thinks that everyone else should have shown responsibility, but not himself.
Daniel T: And now this guy blames everyone else for not keeping himself safe… typical.
madbug1965: My wife cut my hair this weekend. We both laughed about it afterwards. I like it better than getting a case of Covid-19.
Nik110512: "I never thought it would be so close to home" famous last words.
Jay: Let this be a reminder to those that were protesting and holding signs that said, “I need a haircut”
Jam-rock Rider: Fat man: “The stylist should’ve stayed home.” Me at home: “No, YOU should’ve stayed home.”
D Anderson: It is up to everyone now to take personal responsibility and resist the temptation to go out in public. We are being told it’s safe, but it really is not.
Amy Chang: “Never thought it would be so close to home”while the state reported 12k+ cases when will people understand that it’s practically everywhere, nowhere is completely safe.
Xero: Blaming other people when you knew the dangers - or ignored them
Rita Nauman: Interesting that he feels like it's the hairdresser's and salon owner's fault. What about him? He chose to get a haircut. It's also his fault he was exposed. If he'd been grocery shopping it'd be different.
jpb53ao: Everyone who wants a test will get a test. Except everyone.
SYNR3X: And this is what happens when people rush to get locations opened.
The Medicated Artist: Willing to bet the employee was forced to either come in or lose their job
Rodney Smart: Gee, I didn't see that coming. I'm sure that everyone partying on memorial day will be fine though.
Just Another Manic Gamer: Why, why , but WHY would you think a pandemic do NOT apply to you? ♂️♂️♂️♂️
Devin Whitley: I also love how he takes no responsibility at all.
Chequetta Shaw: When your rights doesn’t line up with common sense
Uncle Voodoo: If only people had gotten some sort of warning. :0
JRussellDay: Stupidity and privilege meets poverty and desperation
Ravner: weren't people protesting to get their haircut? well they got what they wanted.
Owen Gordon: Ironically, the stylist probably caught it from one of their nasty customers.
Brian Bogan: What is it about the fact that non symptomatic people can still be highly contagious that people don’t get?
Lemonie Lala: "The hairdresser should have stayed home" Well you should have stayed home too...... just sayin'.
Reed Redline: "They should have stayed home," - everyone should. The virus spreads asymptomatically. Good Lord, people...
Space Force Commander: Customer: “ *I never thought* _-that it would hit so close to home.-_ “ (Engraved on tombstone)
Kebmo338: "They" should have stayed home? Sounds like "YOU" should have stayed home.
First Lady: Everyone has come in contact... I will stay at home and do my own hair and nails. I choose to live. Don't be vain ..
Susan Huntley: No. Not the employer. You, friend. We are all responsible in an emergency
Lunar Wuffy: "All this because someone wasn't responsible." Yeah, you weren't.
Davis Tran: “Should have stayed home” understatement of the year
Surya Avantsa: According to that customer, everyone has a responsibility except himself.
Kevin P: Look at that guys hair. Did he really need to go to a barber to get that done?
ravenwda007: “I thought there was no virus” Put that on your tombstone
志瑜杨: The stylist should’ve stayed home, the employer should’ve acted better, and the people who couldn’t wait to get their hair cut.... should’ve stayed at home.
Blink Once on Sunday!: Is it really so important to go to a hair salon during a pandemic? I've been cutting my own hair since January
Jack Li: American says，“It will not affect me.’’
Landon Taylor: I worked for a chain right out of beauty school... I can almost guarantee they told her to come in or lose her job
Vivi Medina: “All of this because someone wasn’t responsible” …yeah starting with you “They should have stayed home”…so have you. Is a haircut that essential to risk your life?
Arizona Aquarius: The same people who demanded everything open are the first to whine when they get sick. No responsibility...
tommy d.: "But, but my president said it would be OK."
Joseph Branch: The sad part is he looks like he needs another hair cut.
Miss Q: Yes all this could have been avoided if YOU DIDNT GO GET A HAIRCUT!! ♀️
The Church of Silly Beggars: “The price of freedom is eternal ignorance.” - Donald Trump
King_Sleepy_The_√od: See why we need national standards! Fools will never learn.
james jamerson: "Someone was being irresponsible." Yes, the people who told that clown it was safe and told the haircutters it was safe. When he noticed that some haircutters weren't wearing masks, did he really not get up and leave?
ashesfrombones: wow... that hair cut... TAKES MY BREATH AWAY~
Luminousreign: It is almost like the state should have stayed closed.
Mary: Dude, you should have stayed home. Take responsibility for your actions.
Daddio Dizzle: Uh..... "Freeeeeeedom ! !" "I'm not afraid." "If I get it I get it." "I am protected by the blood of jesus." These are the words that people say, to help warn you, that you should avoid them at all costs. They are a danger to you and those you love.
Katherine Dorsey: You know how all of this could have been avoided??? Exactly. ✌️
M. W.: Just tell those customers "15 soon to be down to close to zero".
nikanj6: does the "salon" offer a refund with every exposure or did that cost extra.
Wayne Niles: The stylist should have stayed home? Absolutely. What I want to know, is was the customer one of those protesting to demand a haircut? He should have been home too.
Mario P: Nah homie blame yourself show accountability. You a grown man, you shouldn't of gone homie. Grow a pair.
Jaramillo Lugo: Now you know that it's NOT the same thing going out for dyeing and a cut, than going to The Cuts and dying...
Deanndra Palmer: I can't believe 2 workers showed up sick I would sue both the salon and the hairstyles such lack of consideration for human life
Jselect: Lmfaoo I have been cutting my own hair since iCorona and never will be going back to the barbershop, I'm a professional now.
Lloyd Antony: An at high risk man walks into a hair salon..........
Mc1r1950: OMG, I can't believe that the stylist wasn't wearing gloves or that the customer let her cut her hair when the stylist's hand was touch her face right at eye level. I have long hair, can't convince me that her faced didn't get touched by bare hands.
rvpstudioscanada: Stay tuned. There’s going to be more.
Ben van Dijk: Has anyone invented the see-through bodybag? Karen sure looks good with that fresh hair cut.....
Bill Pool: If only the entire scientific community had foreseen this possibility, and warned the stupid people that they might die. Oh, wait, they did.
Shade Ani: So he blames the salon and not himself for going for that ferret looking hair cut. Typical Trump support. Don’t take responsibility for anything
Melinda Green: "I got sick because someone was irresponsible!"
Kal Himself: "All of this because someone wasn't responsible. They should've stayed home." *YA THINK?!*
The Orange Pekoe Teabag Band: They knew they had symptoms of the deadly virus which means they knowingly and therefore PURPOSELY risked the lives of others. They should be sued by those they infected and, if anyone of them dies, they should be put on trial for murder.
Toni Leolion: That’s bad that they worked with symptoms and exposed others ! Wow
Vidda Chan: I would think any stylist knowingly operating with virus symptoms should be held legally responsible for all medical costs, including hosoitalization and medication to any and all clients who ended up with the virus after receiving service through them..
Julia D.: Excellent and articulate Sir. How irresponsible of the hair stylists. ❤
Andres Lopez: You had to get a haircut DURING A PANDEMIC and you saw a hairstylist not wearing a mask and you stayed anyway - keep following Trump's lead.
Tainted Life: Y’all thought it was cute to trust that everyone will act responsibly.
Lihang Lin: I mean it’s partially his own fault too, he really needed that haircut. Now hopefully he will understand why the virus needs to be contained, and people need to stay home as much as possible
Aphrodite1018: Imagine how many stylists are asymptomatic. That's what scares me about going back. I couldn't take being a hot spot because I do hair n it's impossible to fo from a safe distance.
Yaash: You can't expect others to act in ways that prioritize your well-being when there is something for them to gain or when it inconveniences them.
Just Another Manic Gamer: What a great way to extend your vacation. NOT I wonder how much trust and thanks this owner will be getting from his customers now. ♂️♂️
sle2470: "...they should have stayed home." No YOU and everyone else should have stayed home!
Outshinedsg: Problem is, you're already sick before you start getting symptoms and realize you have to stay home. This is why it's really important to act as if you're already sick, wear masks, and avoid intruding into other people's spaces - because you can be infecting people and not even know it. People in my area are already becoming extremely lax about this because the partial reopening has given them a false sense of confidence about how safe it is.
Jahson Star420: The client should have stayed home. He knew it's a pandemic and probably protested for barbershops to be opened. he is not innocent
matsujonen: I feel no pity for those who decided to break quarantine. They knew the risk and decided to roll the dice
Marcus Ott: I really hope the employee still has the communication in which the boss tells her to come to work while being sick...
KelZ X: 1:46 hand him a mirror. YOU should’ve stayed home. Where’s YOUR personal responsibility! I have no sympathy for you sir ! Speedy recovery
Be The Change: "they should have stayed home" says the guy who sat in the barber chair for an hour and the waiting room for an hour. SMH
ryukoros: of course all this can be avoided... now I am feeling concern that instead of feeling sorry for them for getting it due to ignorance or overconfidence (you only have one life afterall); I am going "meh to them" and poor health care, essential workers and people who choose to stay home and self distance :(
Vidchemy: "Open up, I need muh haircut!" How did that haircut work out for you?
Coco Butter Barbie: "They" shoulda stayed home?!!!! YOU SHOULDA STAYED HOME!!!!!!
bruce conger: Guess that answers my question of whether to get a haircut. I'll let it grow.
Brian Herrington: And it’s their right to infect whoever they want. So don’t infringe on their rights to infect people SMDH
Karen Karen: I’ve been trimming my own hair. It looks a bit rough but I am not exposing myself because of vanity.
Tahere Morris: When we protest for haircuts, we should expect and respect the results too, because government allow opening of businesses it doesn’t mean that we should threw our common sense out of the window and go with flow.
Trainer RED: Oh my goodness. People getting sick when doctors and health professionals told us not to rush into things. Hmmmm...who could've seen this coming?
4yellowwolf: Way to go Missouri! 200/ day new cases and rising. The death told in your state could have been prevented
grimwatcher: I never thought it would hit so close to home. And he still didn't learn his lesson, he still thinks it's some one else's responsibility not his own.
