"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

No vote from me. The population won’t have any idea about an answer to your question until the end of this first two week stretch arrives end of March.
A government health assessment will most likely be released then.
This situation will remain fluid until we know more.
