People Are Finding Ways To Be Creative During the Covid-19 Outbreak

Many people are spending more time at home these days. A LOT of time at home. So to keep from getting cabin fever, we're finding that many are coming up with some cool stuff to to to keep busy, and bringing others along...at a distance.

Yahoo! Lifestyle reported on a surprise drive-by gender reveal party from some friends of a couple. NPR lists a lot of things now free that normally cost, like music, Broadway shows and theaters, education and sports.

Birthday parties are held at a distance with people attending, separating themselves from each other standing outside. Yesterday, I delivered presents, take out dinner from a local restaurant and a birthday cake to one of my relatives, and then chatted over the phone afterwards. It was a bit weird, but kind of cool at the same time.

Sure, the the world has gone into kind of a hibernation, but that's not stopping us to find ways to entertain and be entertained...from a distance.
