As far as possible, anyone who is even slightly worried about their own health and that of others, is in self-isolation to contain the coronavirus pandemic. #QuarantineLife has many elements and activities that we’re used to, albeit with creative twists.
For instance, laptops are now work desks, pets have been promoted to co-workers, terraces are serving as gyms, balconies are the new performance stages and windows are tennis courts. Here are a few more novel socializing ideas Twitter came up with.

Apart from this, one resourceful couple recreated their cancelled cruise at home and others tweaked popular songs and talked about COVID-19 through music. How are you spending time indoors?
