I know I must have a favorite among these three, but I’m REALLY having trouble choosing from such superior candidates!

We feel his pain. Question: One must wonder why Jen didn’t pack a few pints instead of, excuse me, lemonade?

I’m just learning that there’s a growing Covid vocabulary. So far, my favorite is Quarantini. As in “This home schooling is making me desperate for my 5 pm quarantini!”
(Oh, and should you choose to have that with a beer on the side, you’re having a coronatini.) -

From The New Yorker’s Lexicon for a Pandemic, a few that stand out:
Maskhole - someone who wears a mask in a way that makes it completely ineffective, e.g. below the nose, under the chin, on the back of the head.
Quorumtine - the minimum number of family members necessary to decide what to watch on TV.
Flattening the curve - trying to fit into your jeans after 3 months in jogging pants.
Germophobe - Formerly, crazy people; now, everyone except crazy people.
Going Viral - No longer used. -

I’m shocked as well. Good thing they aren’t running shoes.

It was so warm and claustrophobic with the mask on I had to pull it down when noone was about to get some fresh air. Even my wife had to do it.

UK Man , glad you noticed the lexicon and are putting it to good use.
Wearing the mask does take some getting used to. When we were in the city, I grew accustomed to it and at some point it quit bothering me. But after 7 weeks out in the woods, when I had to wear one to a doctor appointment, I felt I was suffocating. Just not used to it now. But grateful for it!
