It’s a question that everyone single has been asking for the past few days – what if I end up hooking up with someone and then we have to self isolate/quarantine ourselves together?

Well, thankfully someone has answered that question for us and decided to live tweet about their experience so we don’t have to go through it – I would say there’s about a 50/50 chance it would be completely hellish or completely awesome. Maybe 60/40 on the hellish side.
Anyway, Thea de Gallier appears to be having a blast of it after five days and here’s what she’s had to say about it:
How’s it been so far, you ask? Well, his dog hated me at first but now happily sits on me, I’ve done a terrible Chewbacca impression, I’m wholeheartedly using this situation to give my WhatsApp groups the content they need and want

Alright, fine, I’ll keep this modern love story updated here. Henceforth referring to my own life as #isolationandchill. Imagine if this started trending

We’ve been asked if we’re mad, if this is actually an episode of Seinfeld, and (understandably) whether it’s a terrible idea to basically temporarily move in together after knowing each other for 5 days. But so far, we’re actually having a nice time #isolationandchill

Those who know me know how much of a committed stone-hearted pessimist I am. So I’m sorry to get all cute but for two people who live alone, this has been perfect timing. Now we just need Craig David to resurface and write a day-by-day song about it #isolationandchill

I mean that sounds nice so far doesn’t it, but not sure how the two of them are going to fare after two weeks or more stuck in the same flat together. Fingers crossed it works out for them but if this was a movie, there would probably be a whole load of fun for about five days until they really started to get on each other’s nerves and start fighting each other before a resolution depending on genre. Romcom – they get together and continue dating, horror/psychological thriller they end up torturing/murdering each other.
Not sure I want to see either of those scenarios play out on Twitter, but best of luck to them anyway. For more of the same, check out this self isolating Premier League footballer shagging his brother’s wife. Not such a good way to spend your time.
UPDATE: Thea has said that she won’t be doing any interviews after this popped off but she might write about it one day for the BBC, so I guess she’s stopping with the live tweet updates as well. Bummer. Hope they manage to ride it out together though.
I started tweeting just for the lols and to amuse/entertain others. I totally get why people are asking – I’ve been that journo hitting up people with a good tweet. One day I might write about this (for my employer, the BBC) but anything else I’m afraid is off the table rn
