Don't tattooists where the plastic gloves as well?

So much so that there is now a worldwide acrylic shortage as manufacturing can’t keep up with demand

yes, and mostly have much higher standards of hygeine out of necessity.
exactly - you wash/sanitise your hands and avoid touching your face - you can't frequently wash your nose and throat or avoid breathing.This is all doing my nut in. Posted lengthily the other day how in my understanding the risk from not only droplet but also aerosol transmission is infinitely higher than from objects. Feel like I am living in some sort of parallel universe where it's supposedly okay to spray and bray all day over people in pubs and shops without face masks, or indeed any freaking thought to ventilation of indoor environments, but a cricket ball is a major transmission vector...? That just does not tally with my understanding at all. What the hell are they basing this on, or I am misunderstanding the whole thing really badly?
but also a cricket is banned but tennis and football isn't???? Makes no sense
They usually stand behind you though don't they, hair dressers. For most of it. Don't know about tattoos, never had one.
I got clippers now so no need for the barber...

Mostly, although also at the sides as well. But they also have a waiting area full of people and constantly chat to you, whereas a tattooist generally has only 1 person in their shop at a time, and is almost always working well away from your face.

Cricketers are well known for licking their balls to make them go faster

Good luck getting a straight answer from the government in this crisis.
Your boss is probably going to make you work from the office.
Not that I can see. Unless there is specific guidance then we must assume its still work from home if you can and your boss is obliged to facilitate this.

Haven't heard anything along those lines, no. I'm an office worker, and planning to continue WFH until ordered back.

I was thinking og was because a manicure had to be face to face but then they'd have to ban fringes.

The reasons I've heard which do make sense to me tbh, is that cricket is still banned as it uses the same ball touched by numerous people. Whereas people have been playing tennis and using balls that the other player doesn't touch. They're also much further away from each other.
Tattoos generally take longer than a haircut, the amount of people doing and getting them is small, and they can wait, it's hardly a necessity is it?

Nails is basically touching someone else's hands for ages. It's also really not that important, whereas loads of people really want haircuts. FFS the line has to go somewhere, if they let nails open then some moaners would be why nails and not massages or something.

It seems like a no brainer to me that everyone working in meat processing of any kind should be given regular tests. Also another case where ssp is woefully inadequate. Needs to be 2 weeks full pay, no ifs or buts, and big fines for any company allowing anyone back to work earlier than 2 weeks.
With the much vaunted testing capacity surely this is the easy stuff to get right.

I know that's really fucking annoying, but I'm going to try my best to avoid/ignore reported news of that particular moaning type, and try and remember but such idiots may not be all that representative ....
"Sensible majority", anyone??
They wear gloves. No one needs to go to the pub. The people's livelihood argument is the same.

No, it's really not. How much is the nail polishing sector worth compared to the pub/bar sector? All sorts of mental health and social aspects to the later too.
