YouTube comic Michael Henry is not letting the COVID-19 pandemic stop him from producing high-quality content. He’s using it for inspiration and to bring a few laughs to these strange and testing times.
His latest video, entitled ‘Quarantine D’, explores the fact some gay men are still hunting for dick, at a time when many others are choosing to abstain and not hook-up.
Los Angeles-based Henry is trying to enjoy his big 12” sub-sandwich in a park when he’s disturbed by a rustling in the nearby bushes. It turns out to be someone only referred to as “Bottom No. 2” (played by Calvin Seabrooks) of the notorious “gay bottom mafia.”
He reveals he’s looking for a hookup, leading Henry to chastise him for breaking quarantine rules and to remind him how a bunch of gay men in New York City recently faced fierce online criticism for a party they hosted in a small apartment.
How about we take this to the next level?

But Bottom No. 2 says he’s desperate: “I don’t think my innards have ever been this dry. I’m so dried out it feels like sandpaper rubbing against sandpaper.”
“I’m sorry,” shoots back Henry, “but your hole is not an essential service!”
Bottom No. 2 then goes on to reveal that many of his fellow bottoms have now become tops, so desperate were they to get their hands on another man.
Henry concludes by reminding his friend why so many of us are self-isolating and why we must do out best until the crisis passes – even if it’s making many of us feel acutely lonely. He helpfully suggests his friend go home and “sit on something” to help dampen his desires!

Instead of recapping the video, how about giving us some numbers that indicate whether or not numbers may be rising because people are having trouble keeping it in their pants.
We could have been thirsty for a couple weeks and then back to normal if the pandemic response had been managed better and we had acted sooner to slow the spread. We are living with the consequences of the Trump administration’s failure, and by extension, our failure to judge effective and responsible leadership.

Sweetheart, the Chinavirus was caused by CHINA. President Trump did not cause this virus. Who you gonna blame for the outbreaks in Italy, and the rest of Europe? Was that Trumps fault too? You mean, you liberals who for the last 3 years have been screaming for open borders, calling those who want to protect the sovereignty of our nation racists, xenophobes, bigots and the like, are now casting blame on a President who reacted to the Chinavirus quicker than anyone else in any other country by shutting down flights? Well, with the exception of China, who shut down every domestic flight and quarantined entire cities, but still allowed international flights out of Wuhan?? I mean, if you stub your poor little toe, is that Trumps fault also? Just wondering……
