Valentine’s Day has again come and passed, but unlike years prior, lovers have been more distant from one another than ever before. The creators of CO-VID, a popular new dating app, saw an opportunity to unite these distant lovers and make a couple of bucks for their troubles. The Lemon sought to understand why the number of users continues to rise.
On CO-VID, users create an account which they can make and receive videos to give others. You can also duet and stitch another person’s video with yours to make their staple “co-vid.” In sharing co-vids with one another, the developers believe users will find someone who “infects them with romantical feelings.”
“People are more socially distant than ever, and we recognize that,” stated co-founder Jeffery Squibs, “We want CO-VID, our app, to be what brings people close again.” Squibs, a gangly man who wore far too much cologne, told the Lemon that the app has grown especially popular in red–states and university campuses.
“I love CO-VID” stated Sarah Greene, second-year magical studies major, “It’s nice to have an app where I can meet people, have fun, all while not having to wear a mask.” Greene, well known on campus for her work in student government, admitted to us that she has shared her co-vids with hundreds of users over this virtual platform.
But does this app work as well as Cupid’s arrow? Well, third-year students Mike and Kelly Carano, married just this past summer in the company of hundreds of guests, swear by the magnetic power of this app. “We would not be married today without it,” commented Kelly, the blushing bride, “In fact, we encouraged co-vids to be shared amongst our guests so that they can, one day, be as happy as we are.”
Gregg Copeland, first-year gardening major, said he has formed close connections with many who had once been skeptics of CO-VID. “I was once a skeptic myself,” said Copeland, “but once you use this app you’re gonna want to find a cure, it’s so addicting!”
It has been days since Valentine’s day, but the app is still experiencing a spike in its national users. Nobody can deny, it has now established a global presence in people’s lives. With this many active users, it is clear that CO-VID is not going away anytime soon.
