Quincy Quarry Weekly Fish Wrap: Finally, some good news for the Q!

After months of imposed closures, local nail shops and massage “therapy” venues have been allowed to reopen and so are now providing sought after services for both genders.

Even so, it is not yet clear if the return of these two major local commercial activities will be sufficient to pull the local economy out of its COVID-19 doldrums.

After all, with many short on funds given the economic impact of the pandemic, much less have any disposable income, it thus remains to be seen how busy will be massage providers after they take the edge off of built-up tension.

On the other hand, while sports fans and especially beer makers are looking forward to returns of two of America’s top summertime pastimes, a recent uptick in COVID-19 cases in what has long been socially distant golf before social distancing became a widely known if not necessarily well-practiced activity can only be worrisome even if many do not consider golf a sport.

Further troubling, the Red Sox have announced that one of the members of team’s forty player roster has tested positive.  Who, however, has yet to be officially disclosed. 

Additionally, other teams have acknowledged that members of their organizations have been infected.

Even so, a number of Major League Baseball team owners has been talking up allowing limited attendance at games if for no other reason that the owners are greedy even though their broadcast revenues are likely to soar given increased televised viewership and radio broadcast listening to games by both fans as well as those burnt out on streaming other video content.
