I found a few great articles online for you guys to check out sharing some fantastic ideas how to pass the hours. It's looking like this situation is going to take some time to get through, so the more ideas the better!

USA TODAY published this list of 20 new books to read while social distancing. Theres a few that look intriguing to myself: https://www.usatoday.com/picture-gallery/entertainment/books/2020/03/18/new-spring-books-reading-guide-coronavirus-social-distancing/5075269002/
The BUT WHY THOUGH podcast listed a series of bingeable shows, including WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS, which I loved. I plan to dig in to HUNTERS on Amazon Prime too!: https://butwhythopodcast.com/2020/03/18/ten-binge-worthy-shows-to-watch-while-you-practice-social-distancing/
Speaking of binge watching shows, you can a seamlessly neverending amount of stuff to stream online on multiple services for free or close to it, which this article from ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY covers: https://ew.com/tv/coronavirus-quarantine-deals-stream-for-free/?did=503909-20200320&utm_campaign=ewk-tv_newsletter&utm_source=ew.com&utm_medium=email&utm_content=032020&cid=503909&mid=31157231703

Please, I urge you all to practice safe habits. Social distancing is a great weapon against Covid-19, so please, spend as little time in public and away from groups. Wash your hands too! Keep following your local media outlets and the CDC (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-nCoV/index.html) for updates on the Covid-19 virus and how to keep safe.
