Although most health agencies recommend calling a halt to canoodling, unless it\u2019s with a committed partner, <a href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/2021\/02\/12\/covid-pandemic-online-dating-apps-usage-tinder-okcupid-bumble-meet-group\/\">Fortune reports that relationship software<\/a>, online dating programs, and matchmaking services are seeing a major boom as people struggle with the single life in quarantine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn March 2020, Tinder recorded its highest number of swipes on a single day: 3 billion. From March to May 2020, OkCupid saw a 700% increase in dates. And over on&nbsp;Bumble, video calls increased by 70%. Seems that even a pandemic can\u2019t stop the search for love,\u201d Fortune reported last year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA recent study showed Match Group, which controls more than 60% of the dating app market and owns popular apps like Tinder, Hinge, Match OK Cupid, and Plenty of Fish, saw a 15% jump in new subscribers in its second-quarter\u201d of 2020, according <a href=\"https:\/\/www.12news.com\/article\/news\/local\/valley\/dating-while-social-distancing-dating-apps-report-jump-in-usage-during-covid-19\/75-2eefe0a8-369c-4e8a-8851-256f48f25a0a\">to NBC News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Fauci himself has suggested that people continue to date, despite coronavirus lockdowns and regulations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt would be really frustrating to essentially semi-isolate yourself at a time when you\u2019re trying to explore social interactions with people,\u201d Fauci said in an interview, per the Post. \u201cThat leads to a considerable amount of stress and maybe even depression on the part of some people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But while the options have expanded, pandemic dating is still difficult, the Post notes, particularly if potential partners don\u2019t see eye-to-eye on the seriousness of the coronavirus threat.<\/p>\n<p>Health agencies have tried to provide guidelines to individuals who insist on going out and hooking up amid the COVID-19 threat, often with uncomfortable results. New York City\u2019s health department suggested, for example, that partners have sex only in well-ventilated spaces and pack extra hand sanitizer.<\/p>\n<p><em><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
