One of the emerging side-effects of social distancing is our remarkable ability to use limited resources in unconventional ways. The 2020 Quarantine is proving that scarcity + isolation = mighty springboards for creative work-arounds. 

1. Zoom and Skype Set Design 

Brilliant homebound workers camouflage bed heads, tweak waist-up wardrobes, and map-out ideal camera angles without hiring digital marketing teams.

2. Pantry Mixology 

Newcomers to day drinking re-craft cocktails and make the most of what’s left on the shelf. Got maple syrup and BBQ sauce? Go!

3. Transportation Revolution

Cycling enthusiasts tackle social-distancing and devise awe-inspiring alternatives.

4. Light in a Dark Time

Families build outdoor displays using programmable LED lights and imagination to deflate doom and gloom.

5. Artificial Globetrotting

Park the private jet – humorous Staycations break new ground.

6. Coded Cursing

Resourceful parents breathe new life into their high school Spanish or create secret languages to shout expletives without their homebound kids understanding a single word.

7. Songs That Bond

Virtual choirs generate entertaining lockdown tunes, opera parodies, and hand washing ditties to amuse themselves and divert family squabbles.
