All over the world, people are either in self-isolation or government-mandated quarantine (it is day 6 of India’s 21-day lockdown) owing to the global coronavirus pandemic. And many people are putting their creative caps on and utilizing this extra free time in interesting ways.
For instance, a Mexican man sent his chihuahua to get Cheetos from the store across the street, a woman called up her exes to ask what went wrong and a new father built a safety pod for his baby to protect him from COVID-19.
Twitter user Chloe Joanna Sophie and her photographer friend Harriet Clare have teamed up to create a #CovidCloset photo series where they recreate iconic film characters and share pictures online. Doesn’t Chloe look like a dead ringer for Johnny Depp from Pirates of the Caribbean in this cosplay?
