Many of us are in the multiple of days of stay-at-home orders or quarantine, due to the Corona Virus threat and the possibility of having COVID-19. All live entertainment is shut down with the exception of the people who are doing some performances from their home with online video. Remaining inside is the best way to protect yourself and others and can help “flatten the curve” on the spread of the virus. So, what is there to do during the pandemic?
