I'm reading so many horror stories about dozens of people catching COVID-19 in a single church service. I am glad that local religious groups are being very cautious about reopening. The virus you spread in church is going to spread to the larger community now that more businesses are open to the public.

Does anyone know when you will be able to get a hair cut in our county?

I am being tempted to take a 3 hour drive, outside of the bay area counties, to get one.

Horror stories? Reliable sources? Bigoted, that is what it is. Santana Row, adjacent restaurants, today. A couple of hundred patrons dining outdoors. No 25 max limit. No keeping phone numbers for tracking. No masks. County disallows food service for the religious folks. I with I could post my photos of fun and frolic at Strait's while the "spirituals" celebrate God online. Note the "same household" requirement, of course not applied at these restaurants.
