Look where we are now, and where we were. 111 cases in Ontario today, 300 in all of Canada. The lowest since the beginning of March.
The US, which has been to quick to re-open, if they were ever really "locked down", and were not nearly as careful all the way through, hit a record high 40,000 new cases today, mostly in Florida, Texas, and California.
If the the US population is 10 times ours (roughly}, the equalized comparison would be 3,000 new cases here vs. 40,000 there.
In Kingston, ON, a nail salon reported 6 cases of Covid yesterday, from direct customers, and of their contacts so far tested another 9 or so have tested positive. Food for thought when social distancing is impossible, despite wearing masks, etc. As for me, I plan to wear a mask more now, given that we are now in Stage 2 with imho a heightened risk.
Now, life is too long not to have fun, but as for me, I will only book my absolute favourites when and if they come back to the industry, and probably mostly at the higher end spas such as Premier, Flirt, and Seduction.
Hopefully this is not considered racist, but there are only a few Asian spas I trust to be clean enough and careful enough to sanitize after each client, and I will only visit them when I feel it is a lot safer than right now. And those would probably be semi-legits like Suko, Serene Ocean, and Just Relax, despite their relatively limited mileage.
At this time I won't trust the high mileage Asian spas at all, and will steer well clear.
Btw, The New York Times yesterday published an article saying that a much higher percentage of new cases than before are in the 20 to 40 year age group, so don't think youth is a guarantee of immunity or mild symptoms. Also, if your blood is type O you are less likely to get infected with severe symptoms, whereas if you're type A it's the opposite, according to two recent reported studies.
