It’s not just the loss of jobs, the end of school for children or the nonstop panic the mainstream is stirring up in an effort to knock out President Trump.

The COVID-19 panic is having even more profound effects on the American society.

“The number of people looking for divorces was 34 percent higher from March through June compared to 2019, according to new data collected Legal Templates, a company that provides legal documents,” Fox News reported.

The combination of stress, unemployment, financial strain, death of loved ones, illness, homeschooling children, mental illnesses, and more has put a significant strain on relationships. The data showed that 31 percent of the couples admitted lockdown has caused irreparable damage to their relationships. Interest in separation during quarantine peaked on April 13 — just about 15-20 days into when the vast majority of states began lockdowns.

That higher divorce rate must be with mostly white couples because in a lot of cases, black women have sperm “donors” and not husbands.

Covid is killing marriages, friendships, social groups

Is there anything CCP-19 can’t do?

The pandemic or lockdown would not negatively impact otherwise healthy marriages.

That’s probably true. The enforced 24/7 physical proximity must have been too difficult to endure for long.

This is actually part of their plan. Break down the family and encourage help from the government. Women have a herd mentality and usually get custody of the kids. They are an easy target.

This is another reason why a lockdown must not be repeated.

It’s obvious as to which side of the crazy conspiracy theory and panicky denial issue is really hysterical. Just look at the shrieking rhetoric, silly claims and mental weakness.

What about the nationwide pepperoni shortage due to shut-in people consuming more pizzas?

I wonder how many of the marital breakups are as the result of a difference in the anxiety level about Covid between the couple, with men tending to be more skeptical of what, or rather, who, is really behind the Covid “crisis” and their women nagging them all the time, “Did you wear a mask the whole time you were out?”

If my spouse couldn’t see past the bullsh*t, my respect for her would be out the window.

I’m so glad my partner and I agree on much, with the exception of Savage versus Limbaugh.

Probably some truth to that. The gluts of salt and preservatives combined with sedentary living might even have something to do with sick brains.

Think I’ll go out for a hobbling trudge...Uh, I mean a stroll. Yeah, that’s it: a stroll. ...just in case someone around here wants a killer homemade pizza tonight. ;)

Marital couples need to consume more electrolytes in order to stay together.
