Pro-tip for couples suddenly working from home together: Get yourselves an imaginary coworker to blame things on. In our apartment, Cheryl keeps leaving her dirty water cups all over the place and we really don't know what to do about her.

Therapist: So you’re sheltering in place..?
Me: Yes but when I have to go out, there's always some weirdo who won't let me social distance

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.
