A Wickenburg, Arizona, police officer told Deb Thompson, the owner of the Horseshoe Cafe, that she needed to ask her diners to leave Friday morning. 'I'm not going to comply,' she said.
Some owners said they had been rejected by banks for the federal loan programs designed to help small businesses see their way through the shutdown. Sole proprietors, especially those in the salon industry, said they could not qualify for any unemployment.
“This is blown out of proportion,” said Wendy Moore, owner of the Beauty Mark in Surprise. Her appointment book showed a 10 a.m. appointment for a lash treatment Friday at her one-chair salon. “People need to stay home if they’re sick, but I do not believe the whole economic structure needs to be shut down.”
Still, many businesses that couldn't maintain those distances faced longer waits and no certain reopening date. “I’m not trying to be disobedient,” said Jennifer Anderson of Vivaldi Salon Suites in Peoria. “I don’t know the governor personally and have nothing negative to say about him.” Anderson said she saw a sinister hand at play with the statewide, and nationwide, shutdown over a virus that, despite medical experts’ statements otherwise, was no worse than the seasonal flu.What Anderson did fear was Ducey’s implicit threat during Wednesday’s news conference to fine and jail people and go after licenses.
He also said he saw fingerprints on the coronavirus epidemic from an intentionally-shadowy group of figures bent on world domination. Part of achieving that, he said, was taking down the United States.
