Might be time to put down the digital assistant and look for a dating app. I'm not sure which is worse, being at home looking to electronics for companionship or dying of covid trying to find an actual relationship.

Statistically, you're almost certainly not going to die of covid (or even be unusually sick for that matter). But you are guaranteed to be lonely if you don't get out there.

I might be older than you and I might have medical history that complicates the matter, who knows. Statistically, covid can kill across the entire range of the human population. Its really going to come down to how many dates you can get and how many involve something less than social distancing.

I'm married and don't have any electronic helpers that I converse with, it doesn't really apply to me.
