At this point, the Philly region has spent two months under self-quarantine.
By the time we get to the “yellow” phase of reopening, we’ll have spent nearly 20% of 2020 inside. Of our homes. All the time.
Desperate times call for desperate measures, and those of us who aren’t essential workers (thank you!) are surviving the stay-at-home order as best we can. Maybe you finished nine seasons of a Netflix series. Maybe you ordered a bluetooth karaoke microphone online. Maybe by now you’re a self-trained barber. Who’s to judge?
The pandemic has forced us to get creative with the limited objects in our homes. Even though we’re all separated, many of us are sharing the same tips on how to stay occupied. We made a Bingo card to share the quarantine experience.
Check off the appropriate boxes, and then tell us: nine weeks in, have you gotten Bingo yet?
