Woman Infected With Coronavirus Breaks Quarantine For Manicure Because She Needs Her Nails Done “Soooooo Bad”
When you need to get your nails done, you need to get your nails done. And it doesn’t matter if you’re carrying a potentially deadly virus and expose other people to it in the process. They won’t know. At least, not at first.
If all of this sounds like something straight out of a sinister sci-fi drama, I’ve got bad news for you; it’s not fiction.
Taylor, a nail artist at Rogue Menai Salon, said a shameless woman turned up to get a manicure done just two days after testing positive for coronavirus – and only admitted to lying about being COVID-free when she got home.
Devastated after hearing she’d been exposed to the virus, Taylor shared screenshots of the text conversation she had with the client to remind people in the industry to stay safe. You can never be sure if your client hasn’t lost their mind yet.

“It was very distressing to receive those messages,” Taylor told Allure. “It is alarming to think there are people who don’t take other people’s safety seriously.” She says that since posting the screenshots, she’s heard from other people in the beauty-service industry who’ve gone through similar incidents.
In Washington, the state’s guidelines say that everyone who is seeking a personal service provider — that includes nail salons– “must self-screen for signs and symptoms of COVID-19 before arriving at the service provider location.”

Taylor said she has reported the client to the proper authorities. “I’m leaving it to them to help me handle this situation properly.” In the meantime, however, she can’t — and wouldn’t — work.
“I am hoping after my two-week quarantine that I will be able to take clients back on. My first concern is the safety of my clients, family members, and friends — first and foremost.”

It's so appalling that she knowingly exposed someone with compromised immune system to the virus, and she has the audacity to tell the nail artist to quarantine herself! This is outrageous. And criminal. She should definitely be punished. And I really hope the nail technician is ok

In Italy, violation of quarantine for a Covid-positive person is punished with 1 to 5 years of detention.

This is very good! When I first heard of such severe rules in Italy I thought it would be a bit harsh because the only case I could imagine a Covid-positive person leaving his home would be that of an elderly confused person not aware of what he or she is doing or of isolated people without friends or relatives panicking because they have nothing left to eat. I would never have imagined that there are so many people around that just don't care about other people's life. Since then I have learned a lot about humans I never wanted to know... Here in Germany, some people are even demonstrating on the streets for their "freedom" to put other people's lives at risk by not wearing a mask. In my view, they should all be charged with attempted murder.

This is one of the reasons why the US is doing so badly with the virus. This and our administration's incredibly poor handling of the situation. It's just so sad.

Sad? That juggernaut at the top did not become president by accident. 40% of Americans still support him. "Every nation gets the government they deserve" (Joseph de Maistre) Stop blaming administration or government, this is the fault of the American population itself.
