California Nail Salons Plan to Sue Gov. Gavin Newsom After He Said They Were Source of Coronavirus
 
Katherine Rodriguez10 May 2020

California nail salons are planning to sue Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom after he said they were to blame for the first case of the coronavirus in the state.

It all started when the California governor was asked why nail salons were part of phase 3 of reopening instead of phase 2, KGO reported.

“This whole thing started in the state of California, the first community spread, in a nail salon,” Newsom said Thursday.

From this article, https://www.kcra.com/article/newsom-first-covid-19-community-spread-case-traced-to-nail-salon/32421155 , linked in the OP article:

“I have dealt at a very close proximity with cashiers, with Walmart associates, with Costco and Sam's Club associates, with a Home Depot guy who helped me cut some wood. None of them had gloves; only some of them had masks,” said Fred Jones, public policy director and legal counsel for the Professional Beauty Federation of California.

“There's not going to be a salon in California, when we reopen, that doesn't have both. We are trained in this," he said.
...
Those remarks drew a backlash from the beauty industry and leaders in the Vietnamese American community, who own the vast majority of nail salons in the state.

“We should be working together to bring back jobs and build our economy instead of using the nail salons as a scapegoat," Faith Bautista, chief executive of the National Asian American Coalition, said in a statement.

The first known case of community transmission of the virus in California was reported in Solano County in late February. County health spokeswoman Jayleen Richards declined Friday to say whether it was tied to a salon.

I still think it highly likely that Goobernor Nuisance was BSing in singling out nail salons. He should be forced, in court if necessary, to prove:

* The first known community spread happened at a nail salon;

* More community spreads have happened at nail salons than at other businesses with similar flow of clients.

While I agree with the spokesdude from the Professional Beauty Federation of California that Nuisance is not targeting Vietnamese-owned businesses, Nuisance probably didn't compile the lists of who opens when. I do think it possible that the person who recommended further delay for nail salons may have a "thing" about Vietnamese people.

BTW, the article I linked above is from KCRA, the NBC station in Sacramento, i.e. a local source.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Noisome ...

"Noisome", 888high58888 .

Back when Nuisance was Doh! Mayor of SF he was nicknamed "Major Nuisance" by the morning drive hosts on KSFO. Nuisance makes some fence posts look smart.

Some sorts of businesses are good for first-generation immigrants with limited English skills. Nail salons work for immigrants well because customer interaction tends to be around a certain small vocabulary but still requires a degree of skill. Laundries, restaurants, dry cleaning establishments are other classic choices. There's a Chinese restaurant in my original home town that is probably in its 3rd or 4th generation of ownership (owners who may or may not know Cantonese anymore), so these immigrants' businesses often get passed on to children and etc..
