Do not go to a man’s home for a hookup right now. You could get quarantined there and they don’t even have sheets. They definitely won’t have toilet paper. Maybe one bag of hot pockets. A can of Cheeto puffs. That’s all you’ll have. Is that what you want

Stood (a safe distance) in line behind an anxious looking older couple at the shop today. Just before checking out, the man said to his wife, “oh! darling, do you require chocolate?”, to which she replied “I always do, don’t I, dear?”

Love in the time of coronavirus, indeed.
My sister is a nurse and says coronavirus can live on metal surfaces longer so I should take off my wedding ring so I guess THIS BITCH IS SINGLE AND READY TO MINGLE

either I need a coronavirus boyfriend or I need my extra monitor from my work desk. I can’t be expected to survive self quarantine without both
