Even though an oppressive sense of uncertainty has dominated most of our lives during the pandemic, there have been a couple of reliable truths. And one of those truths is that there are no easy decisions during COVID-19. Do you need to go to the grocery store on a busy weekend, or can you survive on dried beans for a couple more days? Is a socially distant chat on the stoop with a pal really worth it if they also visit their elderly parents? Depending on where you live, COVID-19 has turned everyday decision-making into an ethical mind melter. And it’s likely that pandemic decision-making isn’t going to get any easier as the world begins to relax restrictions.

Bigger junk like international travel may be out of our hands. But another COVID-19 truism is that the way this pandemic is going to ultimately play out is going to depend on the actions of individuals. In that spirit (but on a lighter note), we recommend you check out a short animated film about a horny teen grappling with a booty call during the pandemic.
