July 30. At the hairdresser’s, although I have an appointment, I have to wait fourty-five minutes. That’s because people think everything will be closed again, Edge says. That’s why they want a quick haircut now. A murmur, filled with the words vaccinated! unvaccinated!, is in the air. When I had my last cut, a month ago, the mask had been optional for the first time. Today it is mandatory again, and the owner personally goes to a customer who has taken it off and admonishes him. Stay vigilant with the mask! Edge says as I leave.
