140 clients at a hair salon in Missouri have now potentially been exposed to COVID-19 after a second hairstyle at the location tested positive for the coronavirus.

Now, 56 more clients have been “potentially directly exposed,” the city said Saturday, explaining that the second stylist at the Great Clips salon tested positive and worked five days while “experiencing very mild symptoms.”

“At this time, this is the only other positive result we have had from those tested as a result of the previous exposure,” the city said. Both the stylists and their clients were wearing face coverings, and the health department said it was reaching out to all those possibly exposed. Hair salons are allowed to operate in Missouri under their reopening guidelines, and the city previously said those possibly exposed at the salon would be offered tests.

As Springfield health officials continue to trace the contacts of the stylists, the city is grappling with other workers at client-facing jobs testing positive for COVID-19, including at a Walmart, a gym, and aDollar General.

A 2nd stylist- were they not testing

40 million people were infected at one hair salon when foliculared knowledge worker went to take a piss on a humble copy of the noble proletariat super rag USA TODAY. Darn you, sir. Caesar Flickerman warned you this would happen. Read the disclaime before buying into fake media.

Damned hairstyle!

You sound so desperate to find material to fuel your fear-mongering

Don’t go to Great Clips

Which hair style was it? I’ll make sure not to ask for it

FAKE NEWS FOLKS

More ridiculous scare mongering..

Betting “the Karen” was the hairstyle

'Potentially' lol everyone in the world has been potentially exposed

Yayyyyyyy serves them right for being so vain ....

“a second”

Masks only do so much. People who don’t get paid well and rely on tips may risk it cuz they can’t afford to stay home. Did Great Clips do anything to help workers who get sick or did they put them in the same pre-pandemic scenario where staying home sick means not getting paid?

richyg666 Unbelievable. The all important, “essential” haircut. Fresh new haircut for the hospital stay.

Human Capitol proving Karma works.

You know, I get it. Having your hair look the way you want it helps alleviate the depression of being locked in your home. I bought dye online, had it mailed to my house, and dyed my own hair, and waaalaaaah, I felt 1000x better. Stop putting others at risk! Stay home and DIY!

If she works for great clips she was probably threatened to lose her job if she stayed out. greatclipsisajoke

According to a new study, if the hair stylist was positive for 11 days...she no longer transmits the virus.

Stupid people

*hairstylist*. Do better

I wouldn't want to be the owner of that place. The owner is legally fucked.

Well... Covid-19 sure is 1 way to fix unemployment.

Well you can't be a proper Karen without the haircut.

The U.S. surpassed Spain in per capita covid cases over the holiday weekend:

Only idiots do not take this seriously

Oh but they have to get their haircuts after all

So when they don’t get sick, will you report it or bury it like you did all those Spring Breakers that you reported were suppose to spread the virus across the country and infect millions?

Paid sick leave needs to be required for a business to reopen; otherwise this will keep happening.

Is it really that important to get your hair styled?

I feel like that might not be an officially licensed Great Clips

So irresponsible.

So no new cases, just assumptions? Thanks for more propaganda.

good...its missouri! but seriously cut your own gdamn hair...or dont worry about it...vanity is a sin supposedly!

I bet the hairstyle that tested positive was mullet.

What hairstyle was it? Beehive? Pompadour?

I didn't know we had a test for hairstyles... Ain't science great?

Yeah, but everybody’s fine, and life goes on. freedom

Maybe put in jail for 14+ days... Hold over for possible man-slaughter charges...

😡😡😡😡

😡

maybe trump will give them both the medal he gave old drug addict rush limbach .

Yawn. Keep trying to stir the panic. It’s going to result in less and less effect. As if your news organization can sustain much more of this bullshit.

Is it Mazoura?

resorts to doxing small businesses....

FAKE NEWS! RTFA

kaplanikids I hope it was worth it!

Proofreaders are your friend.

REAL NEWS

GLOOM AND DOOM NBC I would never trust one thing they post of course no mention of Biden racism. NBC FAKE NEWS DEM HACKS

At least some women got their hair and other vanities taken care of. Exposure to the virus can’t scare women as much as that mirror-mirror on the wall does.

Still not the worst thing ever to happen at a Great Clips

Awesome.

GO, GO, GO

How about the next re-post you tell us how many people were actually infected?

If they weren’t tested after 14 days, they got it somewhere else..🙄🙄

Fear Mongering Survival Rate is 99+%

If both the client and the hairstylist were masked, as they should be, there’s probably very little chance of transmission. That being said, the stylist should have known better. Stylists are trained in infection control. If she didn’t feel good, she’ve stayed home.

Why was the hair style working with symptoms?

Honestly people is a haircut really worth your life. The virus is still here.

Potentially? So you dont have the actual facts. As usual.

Not again. Don’t you have any better news?

If you know anything about hair salons, you'd appreciate why they are high risk in this environment: - staff (usually contractors, not employees, paying booth rental fees), creating an economic disincentive for safety. - close contact is simply part of the job. txlege

Bless thier hearts....

Blame the Missouri governor

That’s 140 people who may or may not get sick. Of those who do, probably all will merely feel crappy for a week then feel better. Some won’t feel a thing.

GOOD FOR THEM! Let those trump supporters absorb all that COVID 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Well it’s the “show me” state. I guessed they showed them.

Hope she’s proud of herself with her selfish act of defiance

but there are still people that believe it's all a hoax!! who to believe Yahoos that don't listen to science or safety precautions for other humans, protesting with their machine guns for the right to cut their hair or nails done....... ?

It was mullet wasn’t it.

ROUND 2 OTW

African American stylists?

Posted a dozen times since last week. File under 'Fake News.'

Is this at the Lake of the Ozarks location?

This is foreboding?

Can you imagine taking to the streets with rifles and signs about your “freedoms” being infringed for not being able to get a haircut because the illness is a hoax, but then you catch the hoax illness while getting your haircut at the shittiest salon chain in the world...?

On the other hand, this could help with understanding how it is transmitted. If a small percentage of the 140 is infected, what does that say?

The 1st stylist exposed 90 clients.

LAWSUIT!

This is a plan to shut us down again . We must stand up now

This news lies 24/7 people

Hope it was a good haircut anyway....

Thinning the herd.

Another fear tweet by the news.

You do realize that the Republicans really do not care as long as people are working and spending money

It was inevitable.

Because getting a haircut is worth risking your life.

They need to be arrested for this level of negligence.

Trump tells ppl that it's safe to go out,unfortunately that s another lie costing Americans there life's, don't listen to trump,wear a mask and stay in please!! Too many ppl has already died,when they shouldn't have died,stay safe,stay home,if you go out,please wear a mask

Hairstyle tested positive?

The main issue is not exactly one of risky behavior or business decisions. Businesses & people have to operate at a risk tolerance level. The question is what happens when the hospitals and ICUs are overwhelmed like what almost happened before. And don’t say it’s a hoax....

I Wonder how many got their hair done before going to the now infamous party in the Ozark’s

This is completely predictable. The trade off is economy vs death. We were told by the White House; “people are going to get the virus and some will die but we have to save our economy “. These are tough times. During an election year the stakes are high. Choose wisely in Nov.

Yolo gop-style

Getting their hair done before the funeral.

That's some powerful virus that can infect a 'hairstyle'.

Gives new meaning to 'I am dying for a haircut.'

That damned hairstyle!

Omg now hairstyles can receive the virus?! What in the world are we coming to?🤪🤡

Missouri= show me.... well? What you think now? Should be called misery.

Now Karen can’t show off her pompadour in Pleasantville, her haircut made her sicky poo.

They should not be allowed to be treated in a hospital. GOP

Oh gosh I hope all the customers are OK

rolandsmartin Quarantine protesters:

Haircut is one of the essential skills that we picked up during lockdown, besides cooking and washing hands.

Just let people do what they want. Go out have fun enjoy your last two weeks of your life.

😢

Bravo realDonaldTrump POTUS WhiteHouse VP GOP GOPChairwoman HouseGOP SenateGOP GOPLeader senatemajldr PressSec strong work! RepublicansAreKillingUs TrumpVirus TrumpDeathToll97K GOPBetrayedAmerica GOP shutdown

I guess god has them covered .....

Perhaps all stylists should be tested regularly. Wonder if they wore masks, as well as clients.

Oh. My. God.

The dumbest people to send back to work...ppl can deal w their own hair a bit longer!

If you are interested or curious, why not get tested? Otherwise, you look marvelous!

How many of those 140 were at Lake of the Ozarks this weekend?

Here we go!

And they got a shitty haircut on top of that.

But some ppl in that state still think it’s ok to open up everything. I wonder if they’re prepared to lose everything? Loved ones, friends, their children, business, etc. better to b cautious, then foolish

Now Corona is infecting hairstyle’s?

Karma working it’s magic and I say,

Yup

The hairstyle was positive? Do better.

NYforSanders Great! Now hairstyles are getting the COVID! It must've mutated!

Good. They don't believe until they are sick.

Are we feeling angry, sad or ?

Spot the typo

YouAintBlack MeTooUnlessItsBiden

I bet some of them went to that pool party at the Ozark’s

But at least they owned the libs!

Do we feel sorry for these idiots, NO

I say let them do what they want and if they die so be it...that's their choice...folks have a right to decide for themselves but since they feel like that, be willing to accept the consequences.

Sure they have COVID now, but can you imagine how good they're going to look in the casket in a few weeks. Such a blessing.

The price of ignorance....🤦🏻‍♂️

The South will rise again, in COVID19 deaths because did you see the pictures of large groups in Missouri over the weekend?

Ok now how many of those people come down with the virus! That would be very interesting!

We will all be homeless if we don't open everything back up.real people have to work to earn money to pay bills .

Let me know when those 140 test positive.

Wow.

Darwin has this.

Good for them. The same faith that led them there will see them through this hoax. In the name of Trump and Chloroquine, Amen 🙏🏽

Stop the fear mongering. It isn't working.

I hate the media.

A lot of people aren't buying this crap anymore. None of the numbers add up and all of the models the initial lockdown were based on were off by a huge amount.

So you're saying there is no wait to get a haircut?

Which hairstyle was it now? My guess is someone came in and asked for a rat tail or mullet.

Nobody cares, they may (or may not) get a little sick.

joemac1114 A hairstyle caught Covid? Just get a new style.

Probably one of them will ever have symptoms...

Open up and die for the Dow dieforthedow

Which hairstyle is the second one? Was it this one?

Have they?

Jesus Murphy people 🙄

You can't fix STUPID...let Darwin due his work... realDonaldTrump FoxNews DonaldJTrumpJr MSNBC

You can’t make this stuff up!

Let the fearmongering begin!!!

This is only news if one of the patrons get the virus and do not survive. The more people that get the virus and recover is a step towards herd immunity. Can’t wait for a vaccine that may never come.

poor ms speaker of house?

Hopefully you'll follow this up with a report on what, if anything, transpired with the 140 potentially exposed clients.

get your shit together missouri

What “hairstyle” tested positive for Corona? So you’re saying they were safe if they got bangs but not a perm? 😂

Welcome to Corona Clips. That new haircut looks sick!

This is all due to government incompetence and corruption. Trump is profiteering off the PPE shortage. Proof: 🚨🚨🚨 This well sourced and straightforward video details Trump’s PPE extortion scheme: RETWEET FAR AND WIDE Credit: QuarantinedLif1

They gotta be loving their freedom

and the common head cold, both with a seriously high survival rate

Welcome to the reopening !SARS - 2 awaits you 😷.

OJ did it

Knuckleheads

Who could have imagined?🙄

Who cares ? Why pushing this story daily ?

Ya just can’t fix stupid

If we test the whole population we will realize everyone was already infected or currently infected but asymptomatic

This place is about an hour and a half SW of Lake of the Ozarks. We saw the pics of what was going on there. If one or two happened to catch the virus and go there... Of course this is speculation, but these are the precautions folks aren’t taking seriously.

Yikes

And millions of Americans were duped by the media and the Democrats ( vermin). Obamagate

'Murica 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

The most surprising thing about this lockdown is that guys are hellbent on haircuts, instead of seizing the opportunity to rock it like young Jeff Bridges

Missouri seems smart

But oh the mindless rethuglicans have to have EVERYTHING open. Now the question they should be asking, Which is more important peoples lives and health or their worship of the almighty dollar?

🤷🏻‍♀️ tell me why I should demonstrate concern.. we’ve talked about this. These are adults though and well just hope for the best I guess

Lol its funny the hysteria you guys still try to play.

They claim that they were wearing masks on the job. So maybe they got the virus from home or somewhere else!

Off to the races

Obviously we need nationwide testing

Way to represent Sprngfield. Embarrassed of my home town...

That's what happens when some idiots listen to the big idiot! Second COVID-19 wave it yet to be much worse.

Civilized society 😂

A haircut to die for.

I smell a lawsuit.

😢😢

Stay out of our hospitals then....

If anyone dies, lawsuits and criminal charges sound appropriate.

So sad

TrumpPandemic

denise_vert Thats called giving a little bit extra to your customers.

Fear mongers🤬

birdiealways Smh

Way to go Maga!

Well, at least people got their hair did.

Unless you are posting information about EVERY worker that is/has exposed others to the virus, this is harassment against stylists. Maybe every person that has tested positive should be on a list that is available to everyone.

Yeah that sounds right

So if any of their clients die, does that mean manslaughter charges apply?

Trump and GOP Genocide!

Will be interesting to see how many, if any, contract covid due to this. If none do I think masks and cleanliness is the way to go and maybe we could open everything while taking care and being vigilant. If many do get covid from this situation its probably going to freak me out.

Normally clicking on the little heart button to show approval of message is cute and gleeful. But it is an occasion of sadness, though necessary to approve/encourage/support this vital message.CV19EngangersUsBeCarefulNotReckless GoCarefully HasteMakesWaste Caution

Fear over facts!

Well duh

Are all the customers now on 2 wk quarantine? My son works for a crappy company. If he tests positive, he is out of work for 2 weeks. Unpaid, no UI. Even if he is asymptomatic. Not sure if it is the law in all states, if you were exposed, 2 wk self-quarantine. 🤬

Not Listening to the professionals, usually Leeds to this end result!

And then you think about those 140 clients that go to the grocery store and a restaurant and a friends house and the number of potential exposure gets a lot higher which is how this spread in the first place

😯

And now they are all in the Lake of the Ozarks

Look on the bright side, they got their hair done

All for a haircut?

I am so sorry for everyone involved. The stylists need to work. The clients are obtuse. The real fault lies with the government who rushed to open.

140? Dam, that's good business!

How many are sick?

More lies. The test needs to be tested

What kind of hairstyle was it?

This will be a great test study! let’s see how many people of 150+ who get the virus from two masked employees that were contagious! Please keep us updated. They have record of every person that was there!

Add me on Snapchat Avasophia2311 for my nudes. I do hookups too

So? They'll get better.

Who could have seen this coming?!🙄

Typhoid Trump strikes again! Even after 100,000 American deaths, Trump keeps pushing for more casualties to jumpstart his broken economy.

Well shit.

Just stop

That’s a hell of a hairstyle. If it tested positive for COVID

The sky is falling...says the Weinstein protectors.

There is no guarantee at this point that those tests are even accurate.

Oh nooooooo! .001 % of them, or none, are gonna die!!

Oh my God. Everyone take shelter! The sky is falling! FFS stop the panic.

Those 140 clients need to slap a lawsuit on hair salon and stylists!

Great Clips and Covid, too. Was it worth a haircut? They should have stayed home.

“Herd immunity” is an important step in finally controlling COVID’s impact on society. As more and more healthy individuals are exposed to and produce antibodies to COVID19, more and more people are able to get back to normal. Example is Chris Cuomo(CNN) and many others

Lol

Key word is potential!

Just stop it already.

Hairstyle?

Vote Trump out! Pass it along!

Why was they open lmao

And the sky still is not falling.

realDonaldTrump this phased approach really seems to be working for you. 🙄

How can hairstyles test positive?

The media is the virus

What hair style tested positive? The Rachel or the Karen? 😷

I honestly think nobody cares about the cases only deaths and there are no new deaths in the full reopening of states

How many infected? 0 FactsOverFear

brithume thinking it's still BS now? Bastard!

How many Karens?

Do NOT think that youre going to go into places where people are paid min wage or depend on tips and that theyll stay home if theyre sick. Most of them cant afford to, dont have benefits that let them, and/or will be fired if they do.

Typo. A hairstyle can’t get Covid

Dang Daniel.

Cant be its a Hoax =Trumplied/TrumpFailed/TrumpUnqualified😎

Exposed , but how many are positive now?

The hairstyle in question

140 clientes de una peluquería en Missouri han sido potencialmente expuestos a COVID-19 después de que una segundo peluquera en el lugar diera positivo para el coronavirus.

Funny how now this disease is so contagious that the hairstyle caught it. 🤔

Tough luck

Sad thing is that they worked while they had symptoms. With COVID-19 you are contagious 2 days prior to the start of symptoms and of course as the virus continues.

It's started! Liberate America! And....fear the Reaper!

Wait to the people at the Lake enjoy their corona / COVID19

I wonder how many of the clients went to Lake of the Ozarks recently?

But her roots

reesetheone1 It’s only common sense that you cannot socially distance at a hair salon… I would LOVE to go to my salon but health is more important!

But remember that trump says all the numbers are coming way down. It even hurts using his language, whatever that might be!

But hey, at least everyone will be focusing on how good their hair looks and not the ventilators they’re hooked up to.

You cannot educate stupid.

Chances are pretty good they will alllllllllll survive! 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

You all bunch of sheep 🐑 it hell you will suffer with a nice hair cut

If everyone was following protocol, they should be fine. Your fear mongering is repulsive.

The hairstyle tested positive it must have been the Karen special

Missouri, East Coast Here

Zzzz. Or not....jeesh

my hair getting long..wtf and I guess I will have to go to CVS and shave my head..damnum!

This will be a great opportunity for the poor, struggling lawyers out there--especial lawyers of color (LOCs) that have faced a history of discrimination. These racist hairstylists are spreading their hate through corona virus infected shears, it's deplorable!

USA-USA-USA . . . .Freedom! I don't need a mask!!!!

We're all going to get it eventually.

Send ‘em to Lake of the Ozarks.

Who gave it to who?

Well that's because its GreatClips , people go to small barbershops, salons right now. They need they money and I promise they care more about your safety!

So sad how much the liberal media is cheering for the virus

Boy, nobody saw that coming I bet.

This article is ‘potentially’ bull-shit.

I think you mean 140 True Patriots.

Trump’s Plan For Coronavirus Second Wave Shows He’s Learned Absolutely NothingAfter downplaying the COVID-19 threat and undermining stay-at-home orders, Trump is brushing off concerns of a second spike. “We’re not going to close the country,” he said. “We’re going to put out the fires.” He’s pandering to his hard core 30 percent.
