Covid on Valentine, how sad
The media can be so predictable. Since it’s Valentine’s Day, there are pieces on couples divided by pandemic delays and travel bans and how sad it is that the day must be celebrated differently. Going to whisper this: the virus doesn’t care if you’re in love.
But Covid numbers continue to decline, a sign that pandemic measures are working, but we’re still being cautioned to hold the line.

I had one ear on “Cross-Country Checkup” yesterday (which I haven’t really listened to in years, but that’s another story) and they had a segment on couples separated because of COVID-19.
One woman called in saying she had gotten together with her sweetie just before the pandemic hit, and they’ve had very little joint physical proximity since as she lives in Manitoba and he lives in North Dakota.
The guest expert gave the usual advice for maintaining long-distance relationships, and how they should think ahead to the next five years and whatnot, and then the woman cuts in and says “By the way, I’m 88 and he’s 91.”
Mic drop. (Jaw drop.)
