Being on Planet Earth (in the best of circumstances) means/has always meant having to take a very deep breath before walking out the door of a morning - because Earth is such a scary planet to live on at the best of times.

A major part of that being because so many people are incredibly selfish idiots who don't care about anyone else's safety.

The problem as I see it is it can't be "unsafe" one day and then "safe" the next.   So even once it is allowed, what's changed, really?  

Absolutely.

Like those people who believe that a tub of yogurt becomes unsafe to eat at 1 second past midnight on the day past 'use by' date.

But...the OP is desperate for a haircut so that those random strangers she sees out and about will maybe be amazed at her ability to continue to look good throughout this crisis.

Vanity thy name is ..... (yes, I know Shakespeare didn't write 'vanity').

I'm another one who won't be rushing out as the clock ticks over to 'safe'.

Morale helps and it certainly helped a lot to have (most) of my normal level of confidence when I had to confront a police person that was harassing a perfectly innocent person on their own doing nothing wrong. It helped to have the confidence to stand up to Little Hitler on behalf of someone I could see clearly looked like one of life's "victims" - because I do not look like a "victim" (even before I've opened my mouth and out comes modern Received Pronunciation).

It helps to be visibly not the sort of person that expects trouble with the police etc.

Good Heavens!

You're talking about not having a haircut for a few weeks!

Do you think you need a little perspective?

What utter tosh!  The argument just gets worse.

When I was at college training to be a teacher, (me and my pet dinosaur) one of the things we had to do was a child study.  Every vacation we were supposed to chose a child that we saw frequently and observe their behaviour, giving reasons for it and steps that could be taken to enhance or modify it.  This was fine except that a good friend of mine didn't do it at all and when time came to hand it in she was stumped.  No matter, she invented a child.  This pseudo child could have given Just William's Violet Elizabeth a run for her money.  She was horrific and grew worse with every vacation.  We all weighed in with our wild ideas and if this child had really existed she would have been at home in a zoo, safely caged.
Much, much later, our Education Tutor admitted that she knew what we were up to but was enjoying seeing how far we could take it and just hoped that we would never actually get this child in one of our classes.

So, Money.  You've been outed.  Admit it, you are not a real person at all, are you?  Someone, or possibly more than one person has invented you.  Through all your various incarnations I spot the tell tale signs of someone's fevered imagination.  I can just imagine the fun they are having as people start taking you seriously and then grow more exasperated and disbelieving as you take them beyond the bounds all reason.

Well done. However, I think it is time to call a halt.  We've enjoyed the joke but enough is enough.

If I am wrong I apologise, but I surely can't be.

Don't you just love it when an OAP tackles KEY workers just doing their job and calls them Litle Hitlers, makes me positively ashamed to be in your age group. Someone looked a victim and yet you with your awful hair don't look a victim, you surprise me, no in fact over the years nothing, absolutely nothing surprises me, Ceridwen, about what comes out of your big mouth.

Please note I am a similar age to Ceridwen, white but fully vaccinated, fortunately I still have my marbles whilst Ceridwen's seem to have left the building, possibly via her ever growing hair!!

My Mum dyed my hair and cut it last week. It looks all right and got rid of the split ends - in fact I shall use it as a blueprint for my next proper job, whenever that is. I fear, however, that my response misses the point of what is being asked, whatever that may be..... 
To clarify, I don't look like a victim either, even before I've opened my mouth and removed all doubt with ever so slightly dated  Estuary whine.

Hey, Ceridwen, my hair is getting a little untidy but it's so far down the list of Important that I really don't give a four-ecks. What I do care about is children being left motherless and fatherless, and grandparentless and uncle and auntless. I fear for people I know, I fear for strangers, I fear for myself. I had a DIY haircut on 17/03 and I also met my surgeon; I'm one of the 2 million + people who've had a major surgery postponed indefinately due to Covid 19. Gawd knows when I will get a resolution to my painful and disabling problems; people in my position just have to struggle on. Struggling, Ceridwen, every minute of every day in serious opiate level pain, but still less in need than cancer patients.

You need to get yourself a great big bowl of Perspective and drink deeply. Then you can go bile yer heid in the soup pot.
