Ordinarily, we at DCBLOG tend to be a place of escapism, much like the reality shows that you enjoy and we cover here. But this feeling of wanting to take a break for this has been more needed for those of you to take your minds of what has been a chaotic month of March which fortunately ends tomorrow. Of course, this has been dominated by one word and classification: the coronavirus and COVID-19. This story is just a small exception in add a lighthearted way to the madness going on.
There is no doubt that all of us have now taken our health very seriously in the past few weeks since the startling announcement of the coronavirus becoming a pandemic, placing everything from what the President does to organizers of events planned for this middle part of 2020 in a microscope. It has turned your local grocer into scenes straight out of Black Friday mall madness as those across the country have binge-shopped before being told to stay in, as we all are right now with seemingly no end in sight. Yesterday, the lockdown order was just extended for the next month, while the stock market is on the verge of a deeper recession that that of 2008, as unemployment claims are jumping and businesses are trying to survive.
All of us being in quarantine has seen the term "social distancing" become a buzzword this month -- even this blogger did his best to do that when I walked to the bank near my house earlier today for my first outdoor activities in almost three weeks. But, it has also seen at-home activities become an everyday part of this new life we're in as we're all trapped with family, friends, loved ones and the kids. That also includes more of us using the internet to do whatever we want, and where TikTok has seen everyone from those who we follow around the MTV world here to even my niece doing dances... as well as another staple of late night in this universe: live Instagram sessions where tea is usually spilled after an episode airs.
Being in love while also being at home is something couples are used to in living together, eating together and sleeping together... but this also means that as lockdown orders are in place in cities across America it also means that dates can't take place at a fancy restaurant, among other things that are commonplace on a weekend or after work. And that has seen those who are married or who are together romantically look to other things to keep themselves cuddled up during "cuffing season."

As production of late night talk shows such as Stephen Colbert's Late Show has been scaled back to mixing reruns with fresh at-home content with its hosts, the outlets for original comedy in this tough time have been limited. But the DWECK channel, led by its lead actor Victor Dweck, has been able to find a way to strike the right mix to wanting to make us laugh when there's not much out there as everything has been on hold... its latest sketch does exactly that.
Here, Kathryn and Victor are enjoying a date in the comforts of their own apartment instead of being out and about. And they find that it is a bit different than what they are used to with them wearing masks and using hand sanitizers. Below, find out how they handle all this in a video that a YouTube user wrote in the comments below, "This sketch jumps all over the place. You never know what is going to be the next punch line. Just as ridiculous as hoarding toilet paper or buying 17,700 bottles of hand sanitizer. Thank you for keeping up with the content in these troublesome times, it is nice to see something funny when you are in lockdown!"
