Some people pointed out that they have more pressing concerns on Tinder.
Others noted that Tinder was seemingly giving more guidance than the government.
The CDC recently removed information about how many people have been tested for COVID-19 from its website.
Thank you, @Tinder, for the coronavirus health warning. I have now seen more info from a dating app than I have from the government.

While the information might be helpful for some, others want Tinder to be a respite from constant updates on COVID-19.
Why is this a thing. Tinder already makes me feel depressed I don’t need to feel anxious about this too?? Sounds insensitive af but I’m a bit over hearing about Coronavirus every second of the day. Life goes on!! pic.twitter.com/JsWC6cPvsl

As Business Insider reported, COVID-19 has already been prominent on dating apps, where users are making fake profiles for the virus, and incorporating it into pickup lines.
