You’d have to be a statistical anomaly to have missed the Distracted Boyfriend meme, which has been used time and again to illustrate how we don’t always want the things we should want.

Recently, Law and Technology academic, Andres Guadamuz, spotted the girlfriend from the scenario in a very different image.
So I was checking a story on covid-19, and this picture showed up. Could it be? It looks like Discracted BF's girlfriend with a mask. It looks like her, but it's so difficult to tell with a mask. I had to find out… pic.twitter.com/Iy0aHpQg10

He did indeed find out, and this is her lockdown story.
1. We all remember this stage of blissful ignorance
It IS her. Here she is happy and enjoying life outside. It's probably early March. Little does she know things are about to get difficult. pic.twitter.com/6jRTZVHAZc

2. The coronavirus reaches Stock Photoland – a real place, obviously
She has just found out about this coronavirus. pic.twitter.com/5pzmDs0x7g

3. Like so many of us, she follows the advice and doesn’t drive to Durham
She's taking precautions. She's wearing a mask at home and using gel. What could go wrong? pic.twitter.com/lwvhkG9vwg

4. Hang on – has she overdone “P.E. With Joe Wicks”?
Oh no, something's not right… body aches are a bad sign. pic.twitter.com/Yn230FxT5O

5. Nope – it’s the rona
Tragedy! A dry cough! pic.twitter.com/E0OficMR8k

6. Our heroine does the sensible thing
She phones her doctor, the tests are in… pic.twitter.com/O7BEmHWODC

7. Luckily, no hospitalisation was necessary and she’ll live to scowl at her boyfriend another day
She was sick, but she'll be fine, crisis averted! pic.twitter.com/yT33yPkXIe

8. That guy! We knew he was trouble
Some questions are starting to emerge. If she was staying at home safe and isolating, how did she get sick? Could Distracted BF be to blame? Maybe he left the house and broke lockdown rules! pic.twitter.com/07yeO164mp
— Andres Guadamuz (@technollama) August 10, 2020
We all know where he caught it.

There’s probably a lesson to be learnt from this, beyond the lesson that Andres does great Twitter.
A thread of champions.
