At that point you've got two choices:


* Just let it grow and go for the "windswept and interesting look" like me  :)
* Grab your razor, shave it all off, and go for the "prematurely bald/army reject" look  :scared:

They may very well have died this year unprovoked. It's not unlikely the period after the major wave has unusually low numbers of people dying as the more fragile citizens are already gone. The vast majority of the population has much better chances than 1 in 100 and a small portion is at significant risk.

No way. Currently there are people on intensive care here in the 30-50 age group. Take the breathing equipment away and they might die. A regular flu does not put a substantial part of the healthy population on intensive care in a matter of weeks. And then there is more: doctors say patients who recover may face damaged lung tissue and be affected for life. That's not your regular flu.

As a result all the restaurants and pubs in the Netherlands got closed quickly. And I have another problem... I need to stay inside for more than two weeks but after that period I definitely need a haircut.

That was the less smart part of the Belgians. Most people got it more or less. But as always, the stupid part makes headlines.

If it's a pursuit you don't partake in you can be excused for thinking such however for those that do and partake in the many sporting disciplines 10 might not be enough.
Like screwdrivers, you need a different one for each job.

It was just a number I pulled out of the air for the sake of illustration. I don't care how many of whatever object somebody has, the more important point is that one is not required to justify a need in order to own something, and when one is interested in something they tend to accumulate items related to that interest, usually more of said items than they truly need, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Do they? I'm not really seeing that right now.

Well the Italians did and we're seeing it now too. So you will be next to see it.
