Pelosi used shuttered San Francisco hair salon for blow-out, owner calls it 'slap in the face'
EXCLUSIVE:House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited a San Francisco hair salon on Monday afternoon for a wash and blow-out, despite local ordinances keeping salons closed amid the coronavirus pandemic, Fox News had learned.
In security footage obtained by Fox News, and timestamped Monday at 3:08 p.m. Pacific Time, the California powerhouse is seen walking through eSalon in San Francisco with wet hair, and without a mask over her mouth or nose.
PELOSI ANNOUNCES CORONAVIRUS MASKS WILL BE REQUIRED IN HOUSE CHAMBER
The stylist doing her hair can be seen following her wearing a black face mask.
Salons in San Francisco had been closed since March and were only notified they could reopen on Sept. 1 for outdoor hairstyling services only.
Salon owner Erica Kious, in a phone interview with Fox News on Tuesday, shared details of Pelosi's visit. Kious explained she has independent stylists working for her who rent chairs in her salon.
"One of the stylists who rents a chair from me contacted me Sunday night," Kious said.
A screengrab of the text message she received from one of her stylists, and obtained by Fox News, said: "I'll be there at 2:45 tomorrow. Pelosi assistant just messaged me to do her hair."
Kious replied: "Pelosi?"
"I was like, are you kidding me right now? Do I let this happen? What do I do?" Kious told Fox News, while noting that she "can't control" what her stylists do if they rent chairs from her, as "they're not paying" at this time.
Kious cast Pelosi's visit as a double standard.
"It was a slap in the face that she went in, you know, that she feels that she can just go and get her stuff done while no one else can go in, and I can't work," Kious told Fox News, adding that she "can't believe" the speaker didn't have a mask on. (From the footage, it appears Pelosi had some kind of covering around her neck.)
"We're supposed to look up to this woman, right?" Kious said. "It is just disturbing."
Asked for comment, Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill maintained that the speaker was following the rules as presented to her.
"The Speaker always wears a mask and complies with local COVID requirements. This business offered for the Speaker to come in on Monday and told her they were allowed by the city to have one customer at a time in the business. The Speaker complied with the rules as presented to her by this establishment," he said.
But the owner pushed back.
CALIFORNIA HAIR SALONS STRUGGLING WITH SECOND CORONAVIRUS CLOSING
Kious said Pelosi received a wash and a blow-dry, but told Fox News that "you're not supposed to blow dry hair" according to coronavirus safety precautions for hair salons.
"We have been shut down for so long, not just me, but most of the small businesses and I just can't - it's a feeling - a feeling of being deflated, helpless and honestly beaten down," Kious said.
"I have been fighting for six months for a business that took me 12 years to build to reopen," she explained. "I am a single mom, I have two small children, and I have no income."
She added: "The fact that they did this, and she came in, it's like a slap in the face."
Kious told Fox News that she had expected to be able to reopen her salon in July, and prepared her space in accordance with local guidelines.
"There were rules and regulations to go by to safely reopen, which I did, but I was still not allowed to open my business," she said, noting that she installed plexiglass partitions between sinks and seating areas, and ensured that all salon chairs were six feet apart, along with proper air circulation from open windows.
"They never let us open," she said, while adding that she is unable to reopen outside because her salon specializes in hair color, and using chemicals outside is prohibited.
FOX NEWS EXCLUSIVE: SALON OWNER JAILED FOR VIOLATING CORONAVIRUS SHUTDOWN ORDER SPEAKS OUT
But Kious said she is not alone in the hardships she has faced amid closures during the coronavirus pandemic.
"This is for everybody," she said. "I am sharing this because of what everyone in my industry, and my city, what every small business is going through right now."
Kious told Fox News that she was a recipient of a $12,000 Paycheck Protection Program loan, which was created to help small businesses stay afloat amid the pandemic under the bipartisan CARES Act (which Pelosi backed), but still is forced to shut down her salon for good within the next 30 to 60 days.
"No one can last anymore," she said. "I have also lost 60 percent of my clientele because everyone is fleeing the city."
Kious said that the area where her salon is located has turned into "a third world country," saying that "every other storefront is completely vacant and shut down and boarded up."
"And because of the shutdown, and the store closures, we've lost people, my clients, and my employees, and that is due to the politics in San Francisco," she said, adding that the homeless population is "everywhere" and "defecating" all over the city.
"It has gotten so extreme," she said. "It is so night and day from what it was a year ago, that everyone is fleeing."

^^^ Ozzy said they'd be defecating in the streets back in January.

Ozzy called it all in January! Ozzy for President!



We already knew Covid 19 had a low mortality rate, what's new?

That was way back on page 17.

So I guess it's hard to make the entire argument that 94% shouldn't be counted.

Duly noted. However the 6% is a valid number in and of itself. A subcategory of the covid + existing would be valid, but only if compared to offsetting data, say flu + existing, and others. That would put it in real world perspective and eliminate some of the hype and hysteria.

Good point as well. The flu is a measuring stick we all understand. Being able to compare numbers would be handy for all.

Sweden said they are done. Starting to look that way.

Pelosi; I was setup!
Nope , you were caught! Double standard..

Tell me again how much we pay these bureaucratic experts?

Published Aug. 29, 2020, New York Times:

"United States: The standard tests are diagnosing huge numbers of people who may be carrying relatively insignificant amounts of the virus."

"Officials at the Wadsworth Center, New York’s state lab, have access to C.T. values from tests they have processed, and analyzed their numbers at The Times’s request. In July, the lab identified 794 positive tests, based on a threshold of 40 cycles."

"With a cutoff of 35, about half of those tests would no longer qualify as positive. About 70 percent would no longer be judged positive if the cycles were limited to 30."

"In Massachusetts, from 85 to 90 percent of people who tested positive in July with a cycle threshold of 40 would have been deemed negative if the threshold were 30 cycles, Dr. Mina said. “I would say that none of those people should be contact-traced, not one,” he said."

The Swedes are laughing at Americans check out the comment from the swedish guy. Dude thinks Americans are weak wearing masks, he calls it a charade.

Sweden never locked down, never wore masks, never participated in corona hoax.

Check out his comment

Not one of your best posts Mike. Doug wears a mask because he wants to race and it is required- besides- he won with a mask! What is the downside of wearing a mask at an event except for you and and ur buddy saying so?

The US govt last week updated the survival rates (i.e., IF infected) for Covid19:
0-19 99.997%
20-49 99.98%
50-69 99.5%
70+ 94.6%
Didn't see it reported much.

This was a couple weeks ago.

This is a comment made by a swede, reply and ask him what the downside of wearing a diaper is, I'm sure he'll inform you sweden never locked down, wore masks or participated in corona hoax. I presume this is why he ask's why people here are going along with this "silly charade", with no resistance. I found his comment interesting is why I posted this. Reply to his comment, I'm sure he can answer your questions.

His comment was there when I got the notification from Competition Plus, and looked at the video.

I hope you're not offended by him referring to corona as a silly charade, that's the Epic part of his comment, considering Sweden never participated in the corona HOAX charade!!.

Never reported, I don't watch fake news or TV though. According to these numbers they could quarantine the elderly and open the country 100% no masks. Let covid run it's course like Sweden did for heard immunity

As you can tell I find it interesting what the rest of the world is saying and doing. While we watch paid agent provocateurs BLM and ANTIFA burn our cities, over in Europe people are fighting for their freedoms, refusing to paricipate in the charade, looks like .
