Before corona-gate, everyone dreamed of working from home in their pajamas. Traveling into the office every day was nothing other than a nuisance; a means to an end. But now that we're being forced to stay home, we miss the days where we had a real office, with a real desk and space for our computers. Turns out, working from home isn't all it's cracked up to be, especially if you're not set up for it, or living in a studio apartment. People are having to be creative with their workspace and are finding comfort in knowing they're not alone in their struggles. A Twitter thread is encouraging people to share their makeshift WFH setups and some of them are super creative! Check them out below.
The quick spread of coronavirus has meant that an increasing number of people are having to self-isolate to keep themselves and others safe. Unfortunately, many of these people — especially the elderly — live by themselves and the loneliness can be overwhelming, particularly for the most vulnerable. Becky Wass, a freelance copywriter from Falmouth, Cornwall, decided to do something about it and designed a postcard for people to post to their elderly neighbors or anyone they know who feels lonely or isolated during the pandemic. Her Facebook post, together with her husband's tweet went viral and people can't get enough of the heartwarming gesture. Here are some of the responses from people who used and benefited from Becky's brilliant idea and it shows how good humanity can be when they come together in the face of a crisis.

Covid-19 has taken over, and all sports have been halted until further notice. This has left millions of people sitting at home, twiddling their thumbs and not knowing what to do with themselves.

As Coronavirus keeps spreading, much of the world seems to be in panic mode, mass quarantining and buying supermarkets out of toilet paper and hand sanitizer. Essentially, the world is collapsing in on itself. But amid the madness, France had other plans, deciding that going ahead with holding the world's largest smurf gathering was worth risking the spread of a deadly pandemic. Yes, you read that correctly; a small northwestern French town did not let Coronavirus stop them from hosting this important and essential event. "We must not stop living," Patrick Leclerc, the mayor of Landerneau, said, followed by "It was the chance to say that we are alive." Well ok then. When in France, I guess! Here are some reactions to a video of the event, as broadcasted by AFP News Agency on Monday and it's safe to say that the world is not impressed.
Unfortunately, the world seems to have gone a little mad over this whole Coronavirus situation.

And these song lyrics mixed in with CDC warnings against the spread of the virus is nothing short of entertaining. You're welcome!
