Given all your previous issues with the fairer sex that you have regaled to us here @ MR, I'd recommended you not only stay far far away from not only her, but all ladies for a period of 1 year.
Sure, of course.
Just don't remove your facemask, wash your hands every two minutes, keep 6 foot separation.
You'll be fine. I'm sure that both you and the girl will find the process quite enjoyable.
Did you say wine, or whine? That would make a difference, IMHO.
(The girl was joking, eh?)

Do I think it’s safe to not practice social distancing during a global pandemic?
Ehhh, it’s really hard to say because on one hand, there’s the whole pandemic thing, and on the other, there’s your desire to see nondescript condo girl.
But seriously, to continue your “bring wine” metaphor, it might be best to FaceTime each other, pour wine from separate bottles, hold your glasses up to the camera and say “cheers” simultaneously.

Some might say that the life without girls and wine is not worth living.
Giving the current situation though, when you take care of yourself, you are really taking care of other people. "Staying safe" is not really about you.
The chances are low don’t you think? I’m just seeing 1 girl, it’s a group less than 10 as they say. Just 2...
And, the girl only coughs a little bit -- you know, just to keep the throat clear.
It takes only one person to get you sick...in the proverbial blink of an eye.
I see.
So basically...if you go over to a girl's condo, drink wine, maybe have some fun...it doesn't matter if it's just 1 person...or 2 people total...
there's still a risk?
And that applies across the board?
Like if I invited a girl over to my condo to eat, drink wine and hangout?
This is a serious question??? I’m thinking not. Chapter 4 of your online social experiment.
Obviously the answer is “no” because you did not include maybe as a choice.
Any contact with anybody is a risk.
People you don't know well (and thus don't know their travel history/who they associate with) is a higher risk.
Depending on where you are, there may be a reasonable chance she is either an asymptomatic carrier or in the incubation period.
Right now is the time to limit all unnecessary contact with people.
Would you bareback this girl? If the answer is no... well there's more probably COVID19 out there than undiagnosed AIDS at the moment. Well, at least in the first world. And it's a lot more contagious.

I mean I know her, but not like super personal. She's a friend you could say, but we don't talk regularly or anything.
I've been hitting up literally everyone in my contacts just to stay sane. I have a very big network which I have built over the years.
And a couple have been quite friendly, lets just say. One of them just flew back from LA a few days ago, so she's out of the question.
But the one I"m talking about, I don't think has been doing anything. I think she's quarantining.
But not 100% sure of anything

Lol...what an awful time. Seriously.
I just felt like if it's ONE person, it might be ok.
But as per some people's opinions, it just depends.
And that's the tough part that I'm trying to figure out.
Hey forget that girl, hang out with us! But seriously, I second the person who said to FaceTime it – maybe you'll be surprised and have an even better time together that way...
OMG I totally want to do that, BUT I LOOK SO UGLY ON THE FT CAMERA UGH!!!!!
I look much better in picture or real life, but for some reason that front facing FT camera just...I look so bad.
Here's the thing. If she's currently an active carrier and asymptomatic, it's fine. If she's alone. If she's with you, chances of transmittance is very high. You are, what, 25-30? For all you know you may react horribly to COVID19, despite being young and healthy on paper and lab tests prior to infection. It's a massive gamble, bub.
And now, to DJ the theme song of your week:
If you definitely know she is also staying away from everyone else, then I think it's ok. But there's no way to know that for sure except about yourself unless you are with the other person 24/7.
I feel like you're one more repetition away from us all changing our minds and offering to pitch in and buy you the most expensive bottle of wine.
For all of humanity you should stay as far away from contact as possible.
Oh my what a thread.
No. You don't know how many people she has seen. That's where the true risk lies. You can stay quarantined, but if then you meet ONE person that has just attended a hard metal concert at a packed club, then you might be done.
No. They don't say that "less than 10 people is ok". They say that since some society needs to work at least to a basic level, if needed, the recommendation is to gather in very small groups. Be mindful that this is not done to really prevent you from getting sick, but it's to be able to track who has been in contact with who.

For the sake of the future of humanity, please don't go now or ever...
We are being asked to be socially distant as this pandemic is active. Please do not be part of the problem.
You or she could be asymptomatic, and you will be part of the problem of spreading the disease to others. You could spread/contract the disease by going there, not just seeing this girl face to face.
another day, another random hieveryone thread
