When you and your partner get dressed to the nines to go to the post office, gas station and grocery store during a pandemic.
Hey babe, will you hand me my Prada heels, gold Navajo cuff and eyeliner for our covidate? I need to get gas, drop off some mail and grab some milk and butterscotch for my cookies tomorrow.

Read as “Covid-alpha.” Also known as the B.1.1.7 or “Alpha” variant. The UK or Kent variant is believed to be the second deadliest variant after the India variant to sweep across a number of countries—however, alpha patients are more than twice less likely to be hospitalized than their delta counterparts.
Covid-⍺, which is estimated to be 40%–80% more transmissible than Covid-19, is
believed to be more infectious because it contains mutations that make it better adapted to evade the immune system, thus allowing it to replicate and potentially find new hosts.
