These are cases in Lancaster County, Nebraska, where the capital Lincoln is situated.
What would you do if faced with an exponential explosion of the coronavirus? Why lift/loosen restrictions on churches, weddings, childcare centers, restaurants, hair salons and tattoo and massage parlors of course!
Lincoln, Lancaster County to reluctantly adopt eased restrictions Ricketts outlined
Lincoln and Lancaster County will implement eased restrictions beginning Monday, after Mayor Leirion Gaylor Baird and her health director reluctantly agreed to adopt the plans Gov. Pete Ricketts sought.New case totals and the rate of positive tests continue to head in the wrong direction, and the ramifications of a growing outbreak of COVID-19 among Lancaster County residents working at the Smithfield plant in Crete remain unclear, she said.
The new restrictions match those already in place in Omaha and elsewhere in the state and would allow the reopening of barbershops and tattoo parlors provided staff and patrons wear face masks and give restaurants the ability to serve half the number of diners their establishments can hold.
In her Thursday afternoon briefing on the local pandemic response, Gaylor Baird said she was disappointed Ricketts said he would not extend beyond Sunday the Lancaster County restrictions currently in place.

(12,712 posts)Is the concept of contagion that difficult to understand?
Maybe tell this people to go stand real close to some nuclear waste for a while. It's invisible, but can be deadly.
I never hear that, "It is my right to stand real close to radioactive materials" as an expression of freedumb.

(34,661 posts)CDT. Son works at a Big Box Store as a Merchandiser. A couple stopped him to inquire about a item and the conversation went along to where the couple was from and then,the Lady says this,"those 500 cases of Corona is a hoax and made up for the TV people," son asked how that could be,well we live in Waterloo and if that was true we would know about it. All made up to make Trump look bad. Ouch, as the Son said,the best White Ignorance he has ever seen.
