Thi told CNN : `` [ People are ] lonely , they 're looking for connection , they 're looking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they 're looking for love .

Thi Q. Lam and Rance Nix came up with a smart solution to dating during the coronavirus lockdown, 'Love is Quarantine' - and the project has taken off
Being in lockdown as a result of COVID-19 may make you think it would be impossible to improve your love life, but, you could be wrong.
Brooklyn roommates Thi Q. Lam and Rance Nix came up with a savvy idea to get people together through these trying times, with their own version of the Love is Blind experiment.
And it's is conducted solely through Instagram and Google Sheets to abide by social-distancing rules.
Thi told CNN: "[People are] lonely, they're looking for connection, they're looking for community, and most importantly, they're looking for love.
"That doesn't stop during a pandemic. People still want love, and we're going to try our best to make that happen."
In the Netflix show Love is Blind, men and women are separated into pods, and get to know one another through a wall - and don't see what the other looks like until they commit to getting married.
In Love is Quarantine, singletons sign up through Google Sheets, by sharing their first name, age, sex, sexuality, city and phone number.
And, unlike the original show, Love is Quarantine is LGBTQ+ friendly.
Rance will then go through the list and reach out to people to make sure they want to participate - but he'll move on if someone doesn't reply almost immediately.
Those who still want Thi and Rance's help are put into one of the 12 "pandemic pods".

After that, the duo introduce the couple over text, and will even provide a few conversation starters to help you on your way.
For example, where the person is from, how they heard about the project, and their ideal dates once social distancing is over.
Before they go on their first 'date' - a phone conversation to crack the ice - the participants are asked to send a clip of themselves to the other person.
Rance and Thi then record these clips being played back on a monitor, with their hand covering the contestant's faces to be sure not spoil the surprise, and upload them to the Love is Quarantine Instagram page.
During and after the 'date' they're asked to describe what they think of the other person.

Following his visit, he updated his Facebook, writing: "I went to ICU, A+E, Level One, Level Two, upstairs and downstairs. No sanitisers in sight, no bacterial rub, nothing.
"Spoke to two different workers - Vinny (he called himself, lanyard was backwards) is loving the overtime he's getting and wore a mask for about one day when it first hit Stoke Mandeville a Month ago.
He added: "I'm not saying covid doesn't exist, it's a respiratory virus, but is predominantly focusing on the elderly and infirm (same as standard flu).
"Now think about how many people day in day out dying from normal s**t... but getting put into the covid-19 stat to keep the pandemic going."
And he ended his Facebook post by writing: "Bottom line is, if your [sic] missing your lattes Stoke Mandeville Costa is still open."
He was arrested the next day and on Thursday, he was jailed for 12 weeks at Oxford Magistrates Court after pleading guilty to one count of causing a public nuisance, and one count of contravening the government's emergency restriction of movement.
He was also ordered to pay £300 compensation to the NHS Trust.

Stevenson's actions were called "reckless" by Chief Crown Prosecutor Jaswant Narwhal, and Investigating Officer, Detective Chief Inspector Lewis Prescott Mayling, of Aylesbury CID.
The Crown Prosecutor added: "Despite there being clear warnings about entering the hospital, Stevenson walked around the building, speaking with staff and breaching social distancing guidelines.
"His reckless behaviour was extremely distressing for staff and put them, patients and the public at risk.
"We will continue to prosecute anyone who acts irresponsibly risking harm to others during the current pandemic."
And DCI Prescott Mayling added: "Stevenson's actions were reckless in attending the hospital without a genuine medical need.
"He has ignored the government advice, the clear signage at the hospital and caused upset to members of the public and NHS staff following his social media posts.
"In doing so he has breached the law."

Speaking after his sentencing, DCI Prescott Mayling added: "Thames Valley Police will consider any offences and take the appropriate action in order to play our part in achieving this.
"The overwhelming majority of people are acting sensibly and we have not taken this decision to arrest Stevenson lightly.
"But we believe this was necessary and proportionate given his attendance at the hospital.
"The Court ruled his actions were a brazen disregard for the law which is there to protect lives, and that these could only result in a custodial sentence."
Local Police Area Commander for Aylesbury Vale, Superintendent Michael Loebenberg, said: "The vast majority of our communities are following the government guidance and we hope this is an isolated case.
"We will be visible in our communities, engaging with the public, explaining the restrictions in place and encouraging compliance.
"Where necessary though, as in this case, we will take enforcement action to protect the NHS and the wider public."
And Neil Macdonald, CEO of Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust, added:
"We would like to thank our colleagues in Thames Valley Police for their prompt and effective action in this case.
"To keep everyone safe, please stay at home, do not meet with others, even friends or family.
"When you do have to go out for essential supplies, stay two metres away from the nearest person.
"If everyone follows this simple advice, it really will save lives and enable the NHS, the police and all the other emergency services to look after and protect the public."
