40. I'm not the person who made the comment - but I feel the same way.

I make my decisions about going out the same way I make all health care decisions - because ging out right now is a health care decision.

How significant is the risk (death, permanent injury ranks pretty high)
How likely is the risk to materialize (single brief socially distanced encounter - remote; single, up front and personal, longer encounter - higher; large crowd - even higher)
If the risk materializes, what is the likely impact on me (older than 60, diabetes, but under control, Vitamin D normal, generally a quick recovery from injury/illness - every doctor has commented on it in my last 4 post-diabetes significant medical encounters (breast cancer, removal of a rib x 2, and a spiral leg fracture that was surgically repaired); two family members I live with who are more at risk; I'm not likely to infect my 80+ parents since I wont' see them)
How important it the thing I want to do (haircut - meh - my last haircut was nearly 3 years ago; but food or medicine - pretty darn important)

And (not something I'd consider in a purely medical situation) - are there other considerations I can address in a less risky manner - can I engage the service in a less risky air; can I support the service without receiving anything; bigger tip; etc.)

For me, personally, the above mean I've been out twice since ~March 6, each time for essentials (including stopping at my place of employment for things I needed to do my job at home - combined with a trip for food or meds). Haircuts would be a no-go, at this stage.
