We'll share one pe people around the world are doing what they can to maintain some sense of normalcy amid closures, lock-downs and quarantines due to the coronavirus.

At a personalcare home in the u-k, the residents are playing a life-sized version of the popular children's board game 'hungry hungry hippos.'

They're using plastic playpen balls and makeshift hippo mouths made from plastic baskets attached to broomstick handles.

They've been on lockdown since march 12th, and that means no visits from loved ones.

The general manager says residents are also filling their day with activities like cooking, quizzes, craft sessions and exercise classes.

The residents and staff are well and there is no current coronavirus- related illness in the home.

Off top those in a town in georgia are trying to instill calm.

.

A local artist in dunwoody created a mural outside spruill gallery that says everything will be ok.

It's become the unofficial city motto.

A local business owner printed it on yard signs and put them up around town.

Some also shared the message on social media.

I sort of feel like a little kid!

It was delightful bravo!

Not only was helena moved by the children's music, she also said it was reassuring that rebecca checked in on her in the first place.
