The world is in a state of complete lockdown due to coronavirus outbreak. Colleges, gyms, nightclubs, and offices are shut across the globe and people have been advised to stay indoors to help prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus. In tough times like these, it’s important that we practice social distancing as methods to minimise interaction with people. While it’s a scary situation out there–filled with panic and fear, people in quarantine are trying their best to cope up with the lockdown anxiety.
Videos of people spreading smiles, conquering fear with joy, have taken over the Internet and they do offer some amount of hope to the terrified kid within all of us.
