There will be a baby boom from all this. We could call them the Quarantiners generation, or The Qs for short. They will be loners, introverts, socially distant, will only order takeout for food, and will teach their young to sit-and-stay.


Sorry, I'm getting a little stir crazy here.

Good thing we haven’t used them in years! Lol. I probably have a badly outdated box somewhere, if you’d rather take a smaller chance than a bigger one.

I read and watch many stories about companies moving from what they usually manufacture to something that is currently, in this pandemic, greatly needed and in short supply.

Wouldn't a company that manufactures condoms be a likely candidate to manufacture something that is essential for healthcare workers on the front line, e.g. gloves?

One or the other probably already makes the little finger condoms, no? Or maybe it’s a shared factory setup in many cases, where condoms are pushed off for gloves?
