Tired of having to live your sex life online during lockdown? You’re in luck.
Government coronavirus expert Dr. Anthony Fauci says that heartsick isolationists can hook up with asymptomatic Tinder matches in real life — but, like love, it involves some risk.
The 79-year-old immunologist dropped the unorthodox dating tip in a Tuesday interview on Snapchat’s “Good Luck America.”
Toward the end of the taped segment, Fauci was asked: “If you’re swiping on a dating app like Tinder, or Bumble or Grindr, and you match with someone that you think is hot, and you’re just kind of like, ‘Maybe it’s fine if this one stranger comes over.’ What do you say to that person?”
“You know, that’s tough,” replied the befuddled National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director to the curveball. “Because that’s what’s called relative risk.”

He added, “If you want to go a little bit more intimate, well, then that’s your choice regarding a risk.”

“Well look it up, because I’m swiping you left.”
LOL! I guess we know. who the Tinder user is!
dr. birx:
“... if it saves just one life...”
dr. fauci:
“... except if it gets you off just one time ...”
who are we supposed to be “sheltering in place” with anyways?
i believe the definition of significant others loosely applied is being used, at least in age groups considered sexually active.
https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=significant%20other
“Your mate, spouse, husband, wife, boyfriend, girlfriend, steady and/or lover. Used when you don’t want to be too specific, or when the details are nobody’s business.”
First, do i have everything correct so far? I have not bothered to consider it very closely up until now.
If not, then how have i erred? If so, can a person found on Tinder (or Grindr or other variant) considered a “significant other” (perhaps so...)?
I dont understand most of these arguments bashing Fauchi. What part of “....that’s your choice regarding a risk.”
dont you people understand?
If anyone wants to rob a convenience store for drug money guess what...“....that’s your choice regarding a risk.” also applies.
If anyone wants to commit (fill in the blank bad behavior), guess what...“....that’s your choice regarding a risk.” also applies.
Seriously...why is Fauci getting hammered for just pointing out the obvious?
—> Can I go to church if I’m willing to take “the risk?”<—
Absolutely! Take a gun if you’d like.
Remember that weird VR sex machine in the movie “Demolition Man”? Stallone and Sandra Bullock sitting across from each other with the goggles on.
Maybe if we arrange our worship services on Tinder it will be ok.
We could arrange funerals and hospital visits that way too and “Dr Fauci “ would I guess give his blessing.
“
- He pushed a shutdown that has closed all the restauraunts.”
“Dr Fauci on closing restaurants on March 15th “that might be overkill right now”
“Demolition Man” was ahead of its time. Look around at how that movie has become reality.
Sandra Bullock was so, so hot back then...
“
He said go ahead and do it but he won’t say go out to a restaurant.”
He didnt say that. Do you want him to be a m8rality. crusader?
“Dr Fauci on closing restaurants on March 15th “that might be overkill right now”
Let’s call him Dr. Tinder.
Great movie!

And that would be your choice as well.
You got that right. See, according to Cocteau’s plan, I’m the enemy. Cause I like to think, I like to read. I’m into freedom of speech and freedom of choice. I’m the kind if guy who wants to sit in a greasy spoon and think, “Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecued ribs with the side order of gravy fries?” I want high cholesterol. I want to eat bacon, butter and buckets of cheese, okay? I want to smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in a non-smoking section. I wanna run through the streets naked with green Jello all over my body reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly might feel the need to. Okay, pal? I’ve seen the future, you know what it is? It’s a 47-year-old virgin sittin’ around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake singing “I’m an Oscar-Meyer Wiener”. You wanna live on top, you gotta live Cocteau’s way. What he wants, when he wants, how he wants. Your other choice: come down here, maybe starve to deat
Tinder has nothing to do with “Love”, but a helluva lot to do with “LUST” and hooking up.
Dr. Fauci endorses Tinder hookups ‘if you’re willing to take a risk’He's saying that now because he knows and has always known "the risk", if any, is minimal, always has been.
Classic! Denis Leary was good in that.
As Dinesh D’Souza said, it’s all about pelvic rights for the left. Abortion and sex are all they care about.
are you serious? seriously making a fool of yourself. Why isn’t RUNNING our own lives a choice regarding risk???
“Tinder has nothing to do with “Love”, but a helluva lot to do with “LUST” and hooking up.”
I never heard of Tinder before today. I sure wasn’t aware of how many here are familiar with it!
