I can't speak to nail salons, but I get my exercise at a ballroom dance studio. Since it has been closed, I've gained 5 pounds, with no signs of stopping. Closing that dance studio is increasing my risk of death more than leaving it open would be. I imagine gyms work the same way for some people.
Limiting Covid-19 may save lives, but limiting the damage to the economy saves both lives and livelihoods.
