Has anyone done an in person coffee chat since COVID started?

Analysts, how likely are you to meet up with someone during COVID for a coffee chat? Have you done it or do you just offer after every call? 

I'm a 22-year-old consultant trying to break into banking posting on a throwaway. I need to build these connections but I'm also not trying to catch COVID.

"If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them." - Bruce Lee
