A popup on Tinder is warning users to protect themselves from coronavirus which is 'more important' than having fun
Tinder's advice is consistent with what the CDC suggests: good hand hygiene, avoiding touching your face, keep your distance from sick people.
Some people pointed out that they have more pressing concerns on Tinder.
tinder out here protecting me from corona virus more than they’re protecting me from bad pickup lines and weirdos pic.twitter.com/vuw6PjdtH5

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.

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
