It was perfectly reasonable for someone to cut my, and other people's hair wearing a face screen (like they do at the Hospitals).
If that's a reasonable thing for hospital staff, why isn't it good for everyone else where the situation may warrant it
Hospital workers are doing important jobs ,saving lives
they run the risk of catching and spreading Covid ,possibly ending up dead .
your hair being a bit long is not so important to the UK's economy
My £20 alone might not matter, but add it to the 50-60 that might go through each barbers and hairdressers 6 days a week it actually adds upto a reasonable amount
Add in all the other furloughed people... Being paid by the government whilst not actually producing anything. It simply doesn't make sense to close down whole swaithes of the economy when reasonable precautions can be taken to allow them to continue.
you forgot to factor in the cost of treatment for those people with tidy hair who catch covid and live , or the funerals and other costs ,for those that die
As for "reasonable precautions" ,one thing we have learned is that there are plenty of idiots about ignoring advice about staying safe etc ,
the only "reasonable precaution" would be to stay home with long hair or cut it yourself
people looking for loopholes, ignoring the lockdown and not social distancing because they think they know better IS the reason covid is doing so well
I do hope your "long hair" problem is resolved soon DG
must be a really hard issue to have to cope with
