Thanks for posting the Pelosi video, Mick.

I knew there was WAY more to the story than the internet outrage sphere was bothering to be concerned about.

That salon owner sure is dumb. It's not Pelosi's fault her salon was closed. But more importantly, she is really popular in S.F. That business is going to suffer big time from doing such an underhanded thing.

I have no idea if the business will suffer or not. Right now, it is suffering a lot anyway, so they may not care. Was Pelosi set up? It sure looks like it. However, using the old test that morality is what you do when you think nobody is watching, Pelosi pretty much fails the test IMHO. Unfortunately, I think (well, in my neighborhood I know) that there are plenty of people who are very compliant except when they are not. This is a problem, and has been all along. We couldn't "crush the curve" at least partially because of this problem. It isn't just Pelosi. It is lots of us.

There is (correctly IMHO) lots of condemnation of the people who won't wear masks and who think COVID-19 is "a hoax". They are a big problem. However, there are also unfortunately even more people who "mostly" comply. As has been pointed out on this board, the "mostly" standard isn't going to allow us to control the disease. Put these two types of non-compliance together, coupled with people who will not follow quarantine/isolation requirements and we are where we are.
