#1,756 – Cuddle Curtains

Greatest. Idea. Ever.

I previously wrote about Skin Hunger , the very real desire for human contact that sets in when we’ve been deprived of human touch for too long. It may sound funny but it’s a very real condition and it’s something that a lot of us have been experiencing as we quarantine for months at a time with no end in sight.

Testing helps save lives since it identifies who is sick (and who should quarantine) and who is safe to return to work or move freely throughout society.
