Like I get how covid conscious and dating/meet-up sites are a bit of a contradiction, but my partner and I are both immunocompromised with asthma and have followed proper covid protocol since the beginning (masking, not really going out ever, because it could kill us easily, and even if it didn't, I don't want to harm others!). It's... difficult, though. We're very social, poly people that have been effectively stuck in the best prison with the best prison mate.

Like, other people like us have to exist right, even in this hyper-individualistic hellhole? I tried grindr and tindr but, well, people lie, and it's very literally life and death. I tried googling this and came up with basically nothing.

    I'm tempted to start COVID conscious local groups on social media and do events, but I haven't done it yet.

    I know 3 people who still mask everywhere. One from this site, one from a lesbian dating app, and one from political organizing

    Are there communities of people with asthma? I have considered that might not be appealing to you but still seems a suggestion worth making.

    Covid Isn't Over is a group that does weekly online hangouts, check their insta for more info.

    Mask blocs - see if there's one near you to volunteer with, or start one, to find like-minded people.

    Clean Air Clubs rent/ loan air filters and sometimes offer masks to venues and groups for events. They often advertise the events with information as to whether it's a mask required event. This is the link tree of the main group out of chicago

    Here's a map of more, perhaps there's one near you?

    Honestly, volunteering with older adults might not be a bad idea if that's something you'd be into. They definitely are upset about how the pandemic is being handled and how little everyone cares.
