Oh, man, I needed a laugh.

The woman who took a flight back to New Zealand was supposed to avoid all physical contact with others for 14 days as she went into mandatory quarantine. The man working at the quarantine hotel was supposed to be the last line of defense.

But the two started passing notes to each other, including one written on the back of a face mask. Then she ordered a bottle of wine, which he delivered to her room. When he didn’t return 20 minutes later, a security manager sent to investigate found the pair together in what authorities are describing as an inappropriate encounter, one in which physical distancing wasn’t maintained.

I can't be certain, but I think they mean that these two were having sex.

I laughed for a solid two minutes. I know, because I checked the clock.

[baranduin]

I'm going to need some pictures of this new testing method so I can understand it better ...

China rolls out anal swab coronavirus test...

And if you don't like it you can stick that right...Oh, wait.

I guess drive-through testing is out, then? ROFL.

The jokes, they write themselves.

Looks like Pornhub is going to get more diverse. Again.

[conuly]

And how!

I read the above aloud, very primly, to my Beast, and we both had a good cackle.

My sister suggested that maybe they were just talking or kissing.

I'm not sure if she's being serious or sarcastic there, but either way, she's a huge buzzkill.

Love in the Time of Coronovirus! I guess something like that had to happen eventually. *facepalm*

Bit of a surprise we haven't heard stories like this before.

There's a strong suspicion that this type of 'non-distancing' led to one of the Aussie outbreaks. People gonna be stupid wherever they are.

That sort of thing in quarantine hotels is among the issues that led to an outbreak that required a six month lockdown. :|

" an inappropriate encounter, one in which physical distancing wasn’t maintained"
21st century Victorianisms. Writ large.

[conuly]

You gotta laugh.

[mama_kestrel]

The sort of thing that leads to a onesie I saw on a tiny human (under 2 months, at a guess), which read "My parents did not stay 6 feet apart". I stopped dead in the grocery aisle because I was laughing too hard to move.

[conuly]

LOL.

[chez_jae]

I bet people are lining up for those anal swab tests!

Yikes

[conuly]

I'm heroically refraining from saying "They won't take this sitting down" because it's not really funny if you're there... but....

[silveradept]

Goodness, next thing you know, they'll be talking about uncovered ankles and calling on someone without presenting their card beforehand.

[conuly]

Shocking!
