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.
