Coping With Coronavirus Lock Down

Making the Best of Your Time at Home Without Going Stir Crazy

We are living in some unprecedented days; being forced to either work or learn remotely at home as many businesses and entertainment venues, and schools shut down, all in an attempt at social distancing to stay healthy amid the novel coronavirus that is increasingly threatening the world. But being cooped up indoors can drive anyone stir crazy, especially if it’s prolonged. Here are some ideas on how to make the time pass, until… well, we don’t know yet.  

Visit a Museum Online

Check out exhibits. No, don’t go to the museum; they’re all closed. Let the museum come to you. Here is a listing of wonderful exhibits in the DMV, across the nation and world that you can view online, anytime, without fees or the need to travel.

Catch an Opera Online

Enjoy the magic of the opera again or for the first time. The Metropolitan Opera of New York is launching “Nightly Met Opera Streams,” a free series of encore award-winning Live in HD presentations streamed on the company website during the coronavirus closure, each night at 7:30 p.m. starting Monday, March 16. The presentations will remain available online for 20 hours at their website. They will also be available on the Met Opera’s On-Demand apps.

Fun Online Activities for Kids of All Ages

Both kids and teenagers can go stir crazy easily if not entertained. Being out of school in March for an extended period is unprecedented. How to keep them busy while practicing social distancing? Try these websites that offer fun stuff for kids to do online:

Family Games

Time to dust off some of the board games in the attic. Don’t have any? Get some at the store or order online. Some old favorites: Monopoly, Life, Trouble. Get really competitive with other games like chess, checkers, backgammon, Jenga, or dominoes. Try your hand at some card games. Don’t own any games? Perhaps it’s time to go shopping online and have them delivered to your door.

Watch Free Online Movies

You can also do a search on their website using as keywords the name of the film you wish to see and other keywords such as “free full movie”. Some selections have ads embedded, others don’t.

Do What You Didn’t Have Time To Do Before

Exercise. Do yoga. Make a playlist. Learn how to cook or expand on your recipe book.  Often, people make the excuse that they’d do this or that if they only had the time. Well, you do now. Get to it.

Catch Up on TV Serials

If you have Hulu, Netflix, etc. and you’ve missed some of the serials you’ve heard around the water cooler at work, get caught up! There’s a lot of good stuff out there for everyone.

Visit A Virtual Library

The library is always a great resource and it’s sad when they are closed; however, there’s good news! Libraries are always open online. It’s not the same experience, but you can search for books, “borrow” online, and more, at these websites:

Update Your Dating Website

Got an online dating profile? Go there and make any necessary updates. Don’t have one, but have considered it? You have time now to review the various websites, come up with a profile, and find a new date.

Learn More About Your Partner
