Yes, I understand people have to work to survive, but the reason the virus is spreading like this is because people like Emma are overdoing unnecessary outings. Imagine doing your nails as a “pick me up”... then two days later getting a text saying you were exposed to Covid at the salon. But that was two days ago and since then you’ve been with friends, and your grandparents, and you stopped to chat with a neighbour.Yes but the government have obviously deemed it safe to be able to get cosmetic treatments done, even in tier 3 so if they’re allowed to work why shouldn’t you go and see them and get a treatment? I agree it’s not essential but for some people it’s a pick me up and it’s also a some people’s source of income - especially as majority of the south of England was suddenly put in a strict lockdown with 7 hours notice, and at Christmas it is one of the busiest times of year - that is money they now can’t earn, especially when they’re self employed, they won’t know when they’re next going to get income because we don’t know when we’re coming out of a lockdown. My eyebrow lady has lost a lot of clients due to being made redundant so the more treatments she does the better. It’s not as simple as getting another job in the mean time because job availability is quite low at the moment
And Emma is one person. Multiply this by hundreds of thousands.
Yeah it’s not fair that cosmeticians are directly affected but so are a lot of other industries. I’m not out for them specifically.
