    What are the Brazil, South Africa and UK variants and will vaccines work?

    “A Covid variant first identified in Brazil has been found in the UK.

    What we need are better vaccines.” Continue reading here

What to do while currently in New York City

Coronavirus in NYC - what to do in the city ?

  • Food delivery

The coronavirus situation doesn’t need to prevent you from having some delicious food and keeping your body fueled and healthy. You can visit UberEats, or other delivery websites, pick anything you want and have it delivered to your home or location.

  • Communicating with your loved ones

You can use this time to reconnect with your loved ones through different video options online. Keeping everyone up-to-date about yourself, making sure everyone is healthy and well and “making someone’s’ day” by giving them a good laugh is a great way to maintain strong relations even when you cannot physically spend time together.

Virtual coffees and dinner dates with a friend, family member, a loved one, or a “double-date” even with another couple is the thing to do during these corona times. Why not enjoy someone’s’ company while everyone stays in the comfort of their home? Times like these sometimes ask us to adapt to another lifestyle, but why not make the best of it?

  • Watch a movie set in New York City

If you can’t explore the city because of the restrictions, you can watch a New York-themed movie instead! We all know that feeling when we watch a movie, we see a scene filmed where we’ve been and we scream ‘I’ve been there!” How about watching a movie about New York City while you are in the Big Apple? It suddenly changes your current experience of the city Here is a list of the the 50 best movies set in New York City.

  • Read/Write

If you’re at home, you probably have a shelf full of books that you’ve always wanted to read but never got to. Or perhaps you have some texts that you’ve saved on your phone under “read later.” This is the perfect time to take your mind off the current stressful situation and dive into a literary world, at least for a an hour or two a day.

Also, writing or keeping a journal and getting those thoughts and feelings out on paper can be a true stress reliever during times like these.

  • Take a walk in nature close to or around your home/location

Although social distancing during these times is very important, going outdoors for some fresh air and a quick walk are just as important for our health. We suggest talking a walk around your living premises, going for a run, making use of your backyard or simply going on your balcony more frequently during the day.

The opportunities are endless! Check out more ideas we have right here when  – 5 ways to travel from the safety of your home in 2020.
