Do it for the elderly people, for the ill ones, they are the most affected by this virus. This is a serious matter that needs our contribution.
Let’s start!
- Binge watch a new show or your favorite one:
We know you should be informed about the situation outside, but you might get tired or stressed that the only topic is the coronavirus. So, if you want to free your mind for a moment, this is a great idea. Go to your streaming site of choice, and start searching for a good movie or tv show.
A series, documentaries or movies marathon is a good distraction when the weather doesn’t help.
