What the fuss was all about in my case was maintaining my long hair and beard as, my regular hair cutting saloon was closed due to the lockdown. 
The next big fuss was about getting assurance that I could visit the saloon and be safe now that, they had reopened. So, I pestered my son and heir to go, inspect, ensure and report back about the hygiene at the salon and the precautions that they take to prevent spreading of the virus.
The next big fuss was to get ready mentally to take the risk despite the assurances received. The discomfort of the long hair and beard finally persuaded me to take the leap of faith and go.
The next big fuss was all from the lads at the saloon. They were delighted to see me after such a long time and ooed and aaed about my hirsute splendour and tried to persuade me to shape both rather than revert to my earlier version of short crop for both.

Lest my readers think that the fuss that I experienced was so great, here is what Stevie Wonder has to say about it.
If I’m caught at a dance party without my dancing shoes
And everybody dances on my bare feet
Shame on me
If I’m minding my business just doing the right thing
And you try to front me off in the street
Shame on you
If a family’s waiting for that special blessing to
Come their way
But they ain’t trying to get on their knees and pray
Shame on them
And if we live in a time where every nation’s fighting
Around the world
Yet we can’t all agree that peace is the way
Shame on us
Shame on me, shame on you, shame on them, shame on us
Shame on me, shame on you, shame on them, shame on us
So what the fuss
If I gotta get up early in the morning for a job
Interview
And I forget to set the stupid alarm
Shame on me
If my children are playing outside like little children do
And…
