As citizens all over the world retreat to their spaces to flatten the Coronavirus curve, we're finding ourselves missing our usual forms of connection. Some of us can't see or touch our loved ones. The interactions we take for granted at the coffee shop or at a bar are now forbidden. Some people are finding ways around these restrictions: setting up conference call "raves" and video chatting as though enjoying a night out with friends. Even with these adaptive measures, it can be hard to feel "connected" during a crisis like this. But Twitter account @wnrstweets is here with tips on maintaining our humanity and connections while COVID-19 ravages our brains. Stay safe, people, and try to stay happy.

Acknowledging someone's presence with eye contact, a warm smile, or a good deed can help boost camaraderie in a time that feels so isolating and divisive. In order for us to remain healthy, we need others to stay well too.

Take time to go deeper with them than just updates on the news. Get updates on your loved one's inner lives as well. We all need it.

    Text - We're Not Really Strangers @wnrstweets 4. Spread digital acts of kindness. Everyone is in a state of panic and fear right now. We need each other's love, even from afar. Whether its a loving reminder, a call, or a funny meme. Spread love especially with people you can't see face to face.

It's tempting to focus on all the uncertainties, but what is something you want to ensure within yourself? (Besides staying healthy of course)
