Salons seem to crop up wherever I look. We have many Turkish barber shops in our country though. I think there's around 3-4 where I live along with one native English barber shop.

OK, I'll bite. What is the difference between a Turkish and an English
barber shop?

I don't know... can pets get the coronavirus now? It's a ridiculous ask which will just result in fewer customers.

Apparently cats can. A member of another network mentioned that, after he
had a mild case, his cat started showing signs. The vet told him not to
bring the cat in because they would not treat the animal. Since they
didn't tell him don't bring it in because cats cannot get covid, I guess
they can?

They're Turkish barbers, as in natively Turkish. The Turks are big here when it comes to opening up barber shops. I reckon there are more of them here than native English barbers. They generally offer cheaper prices and are skilled at modern haircuts - fades, lines and designs, etc...

I can imagine owners making their pets self-isolate for 14 days because they've got COVID symptoms. I don't know what the cross infection rate is between human diseases and animals, but I am sure it's possible. The issue is if the strain changes after passing through an animal and is still infectious to humans.

Can you really expect pets to self-isolate? They don't know anything about pandemics or what's going on. You aren't going to stop pets from walking up close to people and doing what they do.

No, I wouldn't want that. Some owners are thick though and rather than go for a walk they'd just let their dog defecate in the garden or something, any excuse to be lazy.
