As the weeks go by, we find ourselves both adapting to a quarantined life and increasingly unsettled by it. Coronavirus is spreading quickly – though the spread is slowing in many areas as the results of social distancing take effect. What is consistent in this crisis are the efforts of people around the world to keep their friends, relatives and even strangers cheered by sharing great news, articles, videos and more on social media.
Here we have some of our favourites from the past week:

"As have certain Trump media cheerleaders, who were apparently fine with all the racism and the pussy-grabbing, but today seem to have judged the Dettol chronicles the bit that might finally cause blowback to their own personages" https://t.co/2MITjuo1yP pic.twitter.com/m6xkRQJgEW
