romantic encounters in the covid era

No one anticipated the widespread effect a disease could have on human life. In all spheres of life, there is no doubt that COVID-19 is changing the rules of the game.

did quarantine fatten you up? solutions!

The COVID era brought up some measures across the world, examples are total/partial lockdown, quarantining, compulsory use of face masks, regular washing of hands, and use of alcohol-based hand sanitizers.
