China has implemented mandatory anal Covid tests for foreign visitors. This seems extremely woke, since anal tests are more accurate than nasal, and I think we should implement this back home in USA. Like for people who go to the store or gym, just a quick butt test to keep people safe. Thoughts?

Has anyone had roommates who got sick with Covid and they managed to not catch it from them? If so, what precautions did you take?

I am the only one who touches the fridge and takes his food out so he can eat. What else can we really do?

I feel like working from home has been the death of my dating life. I used to at least go on 4 dates a month, and I was casually seeing a guy for a while.

What's your view?
